Fingal is famous for its spuds and local producers as well as some of the county’s big food companies will be participating in the 11th World Potato Congress which, for the first time, is being held in Ireland, from May 30 to June 2.
Hosting this unique, global event was a major coup for the IPF who competed with several other countries to win a highly competitive bid in 2018. To date, the World Potato Congress has been held on all seven continents, with previous host countries including Canada, China, Peru, USA and New Zealand.
The day will include demonstration of futuristic farming techniques, machinery stands, technical and marketing information and a showing of the Hoey Tractor Collection as well as potato planting demonstrations.
