Tigran Richter (President Europatat)
“The Europatat Congress 2027 will be a truly special occasion as we celebrate 75 years of representing and connecting the European potato trade. For the first time, we will gather in Portugal, a fitting setting to reflect on how far our sector has come and, more importantly, to look ahead to its future. Together with our Portuguese partners of Porbatata, we look forward to welcoming potato professionals from across Europe and beyond to Lisbon, to exchange ideas, strengthen cooperation and address the opportunities and challenges that will shape the next generation of our sector.”
