Holanda: Dutch launch ‘Potato Valley’

In particular, more research into disease and crop protection is necessary, LTO Noord spokeswoman, Tineke de Vries, told RTV Noord.

The Dutch eat around 2.5 billion kilos of potatoes a year – or 140 kilos for every man, woman and child – and export a further one billion kilos. ‘Valley’, after Silicon Valley, is a popular term in the Netherlands to describe innovation initiatives.
