Castile and Leon expect good potato productions this season
Castile and Leon have an estimated 17,331 hectares devoted to potato crops, according to the data provided by the Junta. This is 1,041 hectares less than last year, and a 5.6% drop in the community, which had already experienced a 4% reduction in area in 2020. However, this decrease was smaller than expected, stated Yolanda Medina, president of the Interprofessional Organization of the Potato (Oipacyl).
Medina highlighted the role of weather in the crops. The first plantings took place in the last three weeks of March, especially in the provinces of Zamora, Salamanca, and Valladolid, with a suitable temperature and good soil preparation, unlike last year. The rains in April delayed the sowing until the 20th of that month and it lasted until mid-May.
