For eight thousand years, the inhabitants of ancient Peru cultivated potatoes in the Andean lands. This native Andean tuber is a source of food and tradition to the people of the high Andes and a priceless gift of nature to the world.
More than 480 years have passed since the Spaniards discovered the potato in the Andes, a treasure from the Empire of Incas; taken to Europe, since then the potato has travelled and conquered the world.
Nowadays, more than billions of people in more than 150 countries obtain the highest rate of growth of old food crops. According to research, the annual potato production exceeds three hundred million tonnes and its trade is worth more than one billion dollars. As previously mentioned, the potato was domesticated thousand years ago, when the Indian people selected edible species from a monk wild potato.
