Tigran Richter (President Europatat)
“The 2026 Europatat Congress will be a milestone edition for our sector. By returning to Brussels, at the heart of the European Union, the Congress will offer a unique platform for dialogue between the European potato trade, EU institutions and policymakers. At a pivotal moment for agriculture, trade and sustainability, it will be an essential forum to exchange views and ensure our sector’s voice is clearly heard.”
