Mini-tuber production – Colombia.

Living Foods set up a project for Corpoica: they supplied technology, trained staff and supported the project for a year. The objective of the project was to use the rapid propagation of mini-tubers cultivated from invitro material to reintroduce a number of authentic potato varieties, including those originating from the Andes. The emphasis was upon quality and the sustainable use of water and nutrients. R12 and other special varieties were amongst those to be successfully produced within this project.
