The World Potato Congress Inc. officially launches International Potato Working Groups.
For over three decades, starting in the early 1990’s, the World Potato Congress Inc. has made its way around the globe, providing an avenue for networking and educational opportunities focused on all thing’s potato.
Emerging from this comes the official launch of Global Potato Thematic Working Groups, designed to create a more formalized platform for ongoing collaboration during and between Congresses, deepening WPC’s impact in mission-aligned areas, and connecting stakeholders around shared priorities.
At the 2026 Kenya Congress, a full day of additional meetings are now planned to advance these topics. These groups include International Potato Research Collaborative Framework (IPRCF), Potato Aeroponics Network, Apical Rooted Cuttings Network, International Marketing Group and Global Potato Sustainability.
Beginning at the Congress in October, these groups will be formalized with an opportunity for membership and participation via a SharePoint platform allowing opportunity for global collaboration on education, information sharing and project work on an on-going basis.
Participation is open to all with a shared passion for the potato industry.
