Argentineans want to improve cultivation and marketing

To optimise the potato chain in Argentina and in other countries in Latin America, the Gitah Papa project (http://www.gitah.com.ar) was started in 2012. In this project, APH Group Argentina and a group of Dutch companies are working together with a few local businesses. ‘For this purpose, the Dutch and Argentinean government offer support based on the 2g@there export incentive programme. Important activities within this project are to carry out a market analysis, to set up demonstration projects, and to exchange knowledge and participate in exhibitions and congresses’, Harco Christiaens, Director of the APH Group Latin America explains. The Gitah collaborative project recently invited a group of Argentinean growers for an information trip to the Netherlands.
