International Potato Tour in Pakistan: Research, Varieties & Export Potential

As part of the International Potato Tour, we visited the Potato Research Institute, Sahiwal in Pakistan — a key scientific center dedicated exclusively to potato research. Local scientists and agricultural experts shared insights on: why Pakistan is among the world’s leading potato exporters, how Seed Plot Technology helps farmers maintain healthy seed for 3–6 generations, why quality and dry matter content matter more than just yield per hectare, the difference between local and exotic potato varieties, collaboration with international companies such as PepsiCo Pakistan, conservation of over 350 potato genotypes for breeding and future research. This video is valuable for farmers, agronomists, seed producers, exporters, and everyone interested in modern potato farming and global agri-business. 🌱🥔 00:00:35 — Welcome to Potato Research Institute, Sahiwal 00:01:05 — Pakistan’s potato export and research importance 00:01:10 — Core potato-growing hub & institute background 00:01:53 — Energy per hectare vs yield per hectare 00:02:21 — Processing standards: dry matter content 00:03:22 — Losses from chasing yield without quality 00:04:21 — Myths about red & white potatoes 00:04:47 — Common mistakes in seed potato preparation 00:05:44 — Seed Plot Technology explained 00:06:50 — Local vs exotic potato varieties 00:07:18 — Varieties used by PepsiCo Pakistan 00:09:18 — Importance of dormancy for storage 00:09:53 — Potato germplasm: 350+ varieties 00:10:36 — In-situ conservation & breeding work 00:11:27 — International cooperation & potato congresses 00:12:27 — Frost and disease resistance trials #InternationalPotatoTour #PotatoFarming #PakistanAgriculture #PotatoResearch #SeedPotato #AgriBusiness #PotatoExport #FarmingInnovation #Agronomy #FarmLife #CropScience #FoodSecurity
