French industry rapidly expanding

Originating from South America, the sweet potato is currently grown in more than one hundred countries worldwide, with its consumption increasing by 12 % per year. In France, with imports of 43 000 tonnes in 2018, the sweet potato is stepping up its shelf presence. Several producers and players from professional bodies are taking an interest in this industry, continuously progressing over the last five years or so. Surface areas are seeing unprecedented expansion, and initiatives show that this industry is apparently not minded to limit itself to a local niche market.
