Potato system & diversity
• 3 different potato systems functioning parallel – Papa Holandesa: Desiree, Alpha (5 varieties) – Papa Waycha: Waycha (1 + 3 varieties) – Papa Nativa • commercial varieties (6 varieties) • non-commmercial varieties(100-25 varieties)
Commercial vs Home consumption Improved varieties: papa Waycha/Holandesa Formal seed production: only for improved varieties Potato diversity in the market
• Producer Market – commercial ware potatoes – native potatoes – (pre-)seed
native potatoes: brought along with commercial ware potatoes (ex. Colomi) what producers bring to the market is a fraction of the diversity they have seed: producers bring seed size, intermediaries purchase and transformed ware potatoes: additional quality selection, sprouting seed of native potato varieties almost absent in the market place Potato diversity in the market
• Peri-urban whole sale market – commercial ware potatoes – native potatoes – (pre-)seed
native potatoes: brought from various places by producers/intermediaries to be sold to retailers and consumers more diversity (native potato varieties) than in producer markets (ex. Colomi) specialised seed markets: intermediaries offer prepared seed (transformed ware potatoes) seed of native potato varieties practically absent Potato diversity in the market
