Potato is a predominant vegetable in India and across the world however, the proportion of potato used/ wasted due to various reasons is expected to change in the medium and long term scenario. In future, potato has to emerge from just a vegetable to a serious food security option. Considering limited availability of cultivable land in the country higher potato production has to be led by growth in productivity. The main focus will be to improve quality of potato as desired by the industry as well as potato consumers in the era of economic development, higher purchasing power and willingness to pay more for the desired quality. Research on improved post-harvest practices will be targeted as another vital component. This book in its 20 chapters elaborates the latest scientific knowledge and technological achievements for development of potato in sub-tropics and also suggests the future strategies for likely adoption. It is our sincere belief that it would act as a compendium of potato research in the country and similar regions and researchers, students and other stakeholders will benefit from the compiled information in a big way.
