Potatoes are the world's most important vegetable crop. They originated in the Andean region of South America and were first brought to Spain, where they were marketed as early as 1576.

Critical to achieving improved tuber yields will be access to an adequate water supply, including more efficient use of scarce water and costly fertilizer inputs..
