Del 24 al 26 de noviembre de 2024, 330 expositores de 15 países darán la bienvenida a productores, contratistas, procesadores, empacadores, compradores y comerciantes de patatas frescas y procesadas en sus stands en Kortrijk Xpo.

After more than 2 years, the first major international meeting platform for the potato chain will finally see the light of day: on Sunday 28, 29, and 30 November 2021, INTERPOM will be opening its doors in Kortrijk Xpo. At last, the potato professionals will be able to meet each other again!

A lot of water, energy and nutrition is lost during the processing of vegetables and potatoes. Scientists from Ghent University, together with partners Flanders' FOOD, Howest, VITO and Vlakwa, are therefore reviewing the processing process from A to Z in the VEG-i-TEC research center.

Scientists at the university of Ghent have developed a vaccine to combat potato blight, one of the most common diseases in potatoes.
