On Processing Potato 3: Survey of Performances, Productivity and Losses in the Supply Chain

Abstract Potato has strong links between the actors as varieties bred by breeders, crop management of growers and site location processors strongly influence yield quality finished products. Here, (breeders, growers, processors, retailers users) in value chain are recognized, their information material flows identified. The genotype, environment efficient use resources during production raw material, tubers harvested for processing purposes, delineated. It is shown that climate change affects performance consumers looking new products hardly interested primary processes, nor breeders showing interest consumer concerns. Crop dependent on (dry matter, sugars, tuber size desired undesired constituents). Factory relies recovery, reuse rejects avoidance wastes. Heatmaps drawn classes productivity losses attributes reveal where gains to be made fields, farms factories improve efficiencies, reduce impact environment, opportunities decarbonisation.
