project - EIP-AGRI Operational Group
Develop innovative production techniques that save on inputs for the Normandy potato industry
Objectives
The project will implement support for the economic development of the Normandy potato sector in the sustainable management of environmental resources. It aims to optimize the performance of production systems by proposing innovative techniques to improve productivity, the sanitary quality of products and meet market needs. It will help limit the impact of production on the environment and anticipate climate change, by developing production methods, practices reducing the use of inputs (fertilizers, phytosanitary products, etc.) and the exploitation of resources ( soil, water…).

1 Practice Abstracts
In 2018, an Operational Group was set up in the Normandy potato sector, comprising producers, collection and packaging companies, marketers, advisers, group technicians and traders. This sector represents around 15,700 ha in the region, 4,500 ha of plants, 1,270 producers and 450,000 tonnes sold mainly on the fresh market (export, supermarkets, direct sales, etc.) and the food industry. This group led a collective strategic reflection on the structuring and revitalization of the sector, which resulted in the design of an action plan, which will be carried out in this second phase of the project.
