1. Potato contains all seven kinds of nutrients, such as carbohydrates, protein, vitamins and dietary fiber. The content of lysine is much higher than that of wheat and rice, which can develop nutritious and healthy staple food products.

two。 Compared with wheat and rice, potato is cold-tolerant, drought-tolerant and barren-tolerant. It is planted in China from south to north, from high altitude to low altitude, in spring, summer, autumn and winter, especially in the south.

3. There is an urgent need to change the extensive management mode of striving for resources, investment and ecological environment, and take the road of sustainable development of agriculture that is resource-saving and eco-friendly. Potatoes are very suitable for growing in developing countries with limited land and abundant labor. Compared with other crops, potatoes can produce more nutritious food under less land resources, harsh climate and drier conditions.

How should it be developed?

What are the prospects for industrial development?

It is estimated that the new area potential of potato in China is about 65 million mu, of which there are three main areas with expansion potential: the groundwater funnel area in North China, the idle field utilization area in the south and the potato potential growth area in the northwest.

Through the comprehensive evaluation and calculation of the carrying capacity of soil and water resources, the balance of supply and demand of staple food products and the adjustment of agricultural production structure in potato planting area, it is estimated that by 2020, the planting area of potato will increase to more than 100 million mu, and the average yield per mu will increase to 1300 kg. The total output is expected to reach about 130 million tons. The popularization rate of high-quality virus-free seed potatoes is 35%, the proportion of special varieties for staple food processing is 10%, and the proportion of industrial processing is 30%. The consumption of staple food products is likely to account for more than 40% of the total consumption of potatoes.
