International Potato Center

The International Potato Center (CIP) is a global research organization dedicated to improving potato and related root crop varieties. It works to develop resilient, nutritious, and high-yielding plants to help fight hunger and poverty, especially in developing countries. CIP also preserves and studies diverse potato varieties to ensure genetic diversity. By sharing their findings and new crop varieties, they support farmers, improve nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture worldwide. Their efforts contribute to food security and economic development, particularly in regions highly dependent on these staple crops.
