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.”
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.
