Event Info

The Scotland’s Rural College is proud to look at the prospects for the crop in the future in their next webinar: Scottish potatoes in a big world.

It will start with a presentations by Patrick Hughes and Cedric Porter on the prospects for exports and the effects of Covid-19 on the potato market. Cedric’s knowledge of world markets will provide some pointers for what the future holds for the GB potato sector. Then, the first session will be rounded off with a view direct from Western Australia, Keith Taylor their most far flung member, will perhaps tell the moaning poms what growing potatoes is really about. After a short break, to fill up your coffee mug, a debate will be open with your chance to ask questions and then vote on the most significant issues of the future.

A panel of renowned experts and industry figures will be challenged to outline where they think the challenges and opportunities of the future lie. “What do we really need to be thinking of in 10 years’ time? What will be the pressures on the sector and who will be able to capitalise on the opportunities?” Let’s hope for a lively and interesting debate spanning the Atlantic, with a mix of commercial and research interests represented.
