On 14 and 15 September, Potato Europe took place in Villers-Saints-Christophe, in the north of France. Although the French Potato Europe is seen as the least international of the four countries – the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium are up again in coming years – thousands of potato cultivators and traders flocked to the event.

While most of the exhibitors stand in large central halls during the other editions, the French fair mostly takes place out of doors. The 300 exhibitors were mostly stationed in small tents. Additionally, the fair was completed with a demonstration area of 24 hectares, where conferences and harvesting, storing and optical sorting line demonstrations were held.

The Potato Europe will take place in Emmeloord, the Netherlands, on 13 and 14 September next year. As always, the Dutch exhibitors were well represented. We took photographs of the companies related to the potato trade for you.
