The Irish Potato Federation will host the 11th World Potato Congress (WPC 2022) which will take place in Ireland, 30 May-2 June 2022.

Founded in 1973, the Irish Potato Federation was originally set up to promote the interests of the wholesale potato trade in Ireland and to promote potato consumption. Today it consists of ten members, comprising potato growers, wholesalers, packers, importers and exporters of both seed and ware potatos. The Federation has been an active member of Euorpatat, the European Potato Trade Association, for over forty years and is recognised by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and An Board Bia (The Irish Food Board) as the official negotiating body on behalf of the wholesale potato trade in Ireland.
