About the congress

2024 Brussels

Under the theme “European Potato Trade in 2030: a sector in transition”, the 2024 edition of the Europatat Congress, which returned to Brussels for the first time after the Covid-19, focused on the main environmental, economic and social challenges for the potato sector and traders for the coming years, but also on the solutions and opportunities that new tools and techniques can deliver.

On the eve of the European elections, the Europatat Congress offered participants the possibility to discuss with European legislators and politicians, and other sectorial colleagues about how the potato trade in particular, and EU agri-food traders in general, should transition to the new decade.
