 Interesting ABC Landline program last Sunday on Potatoes and itbeing
Internatinal Year of the Potatoe. About 1,700 varieties exists.

Podcast from ABc if interested. Very informative about potatoes role to
solve hunger. china apparently double production last year and becamethe
worlds biggest produce,with Russia now second.

Interesting question; where did the spud originate from?

 g'day terry,

was an interesting program hey?

potato's where developed by those southern american natives of peru or
brazil where ever, that is why they have this research centre situated
there.

interesting how many varieties they seem to regularly grow in those
countries, yet in our country we grow maybe a handfull of varieties
for general consumption.
