The “Potato Enthusiast” project continues to spotlight inspiring stories of people who dedicate their lives to the potato industry. We’re looking for farmers, agronomists, processors, engineers, and innovators — anyone working with potatoes and passionate about their craft.
Now is your time to be seen, heard, and celebrated.

What do we do?
We produce field reports, interviews, videos, and articles that showcase the human side of the potato world — the people behind the progress, the innovations, the hard work, and the resilience. Our project spans Russia, Kazakhstan, Egypt, Kenya, India — and more countries to come.

Why does it matter?
Now more than ever, it’s important to share the voices of those who contribute to food security, preserve agricultural traditions, and push for innovation. Your experience can inspire others, attract attention to your work, and build connections across the global potato community.

How to participate?
It’s simple — just reach out to us:

Email: i@viktorkovalev.ru
WhatsApp: +7 961 472 02 02

We’ll discuss the best format for your feature — whether it’s an interview, a full video story, or a written profile. Together, we’ll highlight your achievements and contribution to the industry.

Want to become a project partner?
If you represent a company and would like to support or be featured in this educational and media initiative, we welcome collaboration. Your brand can appear in our videos, articles, and events, helping you connect with the right audience in a meaningful way.

Let’s give the global potato industry a human face — together.
It’s not just powerful — it’s important, impactful, and truly needed.
