I hope everyone will celebrate the International Day of Potato in the manner they love. For me its going to be fries (chips if you are in the UK). We have a new crop storage research facility The Advanced Plant Growth Centre (APGC) in which potato storage will be a key focus. #InternationalDayofPotato
