Last week, representatives from ZAP embarked on a journey to engage with agents and growers across two countries in South Asia. The purpose? To glean insights into the performance of Dunastar, a prized variety under the ZAP umbrella, and to exchange valuable feedback on potato cultivation practices.

The trip proved to be a resounding success, with a plethora of positive feedback pouring in regarding Dunastar. Growers lauded its exceptional traits and performance, affirming its status as a standout choice in their fields. The variety’s resilience, yield potential, and quality attributes were particularly highlighted, indicating its suitability for the diverse agroclimatic conditions prevalent in the region.

Moreover, the engagement wasn’t just one-sided. Representatives had the opportunity to provide constructive feedback on potato cultivation practices in general, fostering a dynamic exchange of ideas aimed at enhancing productivity and sustainability across the sector.

The atmosphere throughout the week was nothing short of inspiring, characterized by the shared passion and enthusiasm of all involved. From agents to growers, everyone was aligned in their dedication to advancing the potato industry and harnessing its potential to contribute to food security and economic prosperity.

Dunastar, a distinguished variety developed by ZAP, continues to garner acclaim for its performance and adaptability in diverse farming environments. As the journey of exploration and collaboration continues, the future looks promising for both Dunastar and the broader potato cultivation community in South Asia.
