Date for the diary: Potatoes in Practice 2025
The planning is well underway now for Potatoes in Practice (PiP), which will take place on Thursday 7 August 2025 at The James Hutton Institute’s Balruddery Farm in Invergowrie, near Dundee.
Hosted by The James Hutton Institute’s National Potato Innovation Centre (NPIC), in partnership with SRUC (Scotland’s Rural College) and Agrii. The event will showcase a variety of demonstrations, cutting-edge research, trade exhibits, and a wealth of knowledge from experts in the field – making it a must-visit for those in the potato industry.
Seeds have been planted in the breeding and agronomy plots, speakers confirmed, 47 exhibitors so far have booked a spot to showcase their products and researchers will be present to talk about their work in the pursuit of potato resilience.
There’s still time to book a place as an exhibitor, though and more information and booking form can be found here – Exhibitor Booking Form 2025 | Potatoes in Practice
