ORGANIZERS

ALAP

Web Site

The Latin American Potato Association (ALAP) was born in 1977, as a result of a previous organization known as the «Latin American Society of Potato Researchers (SLIP)».

The mission of ALAP is to stimulate the production and efficient use of potatoes, as well as increase and disseminate the knowledge we have of this crop through the development of research and dissemination of technical and scientific advances achieved in the regional and global context. All these actions are aimed to awake the interest for this crop in people, with the certainty of achieving greater well-being in the communities that grow potatoes and in the people who consume it in all its forms.

ACHIPA

The Chilean Potato Association (ACHIPA), which is a trade association whose mission is to:

Promote the production and the role of potatoes for human, animal or industrial food systems.
Encourage the improvement of the productivity and quality of the potato crop and its derivatives.
Support research and knowledge dissemination on potato improvement, cultivation methods, pest and disease control, costs and other issues related to the production.

DO YOU WANT TO BE ACHIPA MEMBER?

WELCOME EVERYONE

ALAP and ACHIPA have come together to hold the twenty-ninth version of the Latin American Potato Congress in the city of Puerto Varas, which will bring together the entire potato industry and will have as its main focus the sustainability of production and the challenges of climate change in the world of this tuber. Scientists, researchers, academics, extensionists, farmers, and technology and equipment companies and providers have been convened for this event. Representatives from more than 20 countries will attend to discuss topics such as: breeding and biotechnology, plant pathology, cultivation and storage techniques, positioning and nutritional value. The objective of this congress is to increase potato cultivation and its consumption.
