Potatoes Australia Ltd proudly welcomes AUSVEG as a new Platinum Sponsor of the World Potato Congress (WPC), joining Potatoes Australia Ltd in supporting this globally significant organisation.
Following the outstanding success of Potatoes Australia Ltd in delivering and hosting the World Potato Congress in Adelaide in 2024 on behalf of Australia, the nation’s leadership in the global potato community has been firmly cemented. The Adelaide Congress, delivered under the stewardship of Potatoes Australia Ltd, has been recognised as one of the most successful events in WPC history, showcasing Australian innovation, sustainability, and industry collaboration to the world.
Potatoes Australia Ltd has been a driving force behind Australia’s engagement with the international potato community. The addition of AUSVEG as a Platinum Sponsor builds on the legacy established through the 2024 Congress and reflects a continued unified commitment to advancing the global potato sector.
“Potatoes Australia is proud to have successfully hosted and delivered the World Potato Congress in 2024, elevating Australia’s position as a global leader in potato innovation and industry excellence,” said Potatoes Australia Ltd Chair, Tanya Pittard. “We are keen to see Australian growers and the industry at the forefront of innovation, sustainability, and global leadership well into the future.”
The World Potato Congress remains the premier international platform for innovation, knowledge exchange, and promoting the role of potatoes in global food security and economic development.
Potatoes are not just another vegetable crop — they are a specialised crop that requires dedicated research, tailored agronomic approaches, and strong industry coordination. Technology and innovation are advancing rapidly, and it is critical that the Australian potato industry remains at the forefront to ensure its competitiveness, sustainability, and global relevance.
Potatoes Australia Ltd remains committed to championing the Australian potato industry and welcomes AUSVEG’s involvement in continuing to build on the strong foundations laid during the 2024 Congress.
