In response to the 2024 surge in demand for processed potatoes and a shortage of certified plants, the three leading French potato plant cutter providers have formed 'Coupeurs de France.' This new federation aims to tackle industry challenges by establishing best practices, recommending suitable varieties, and defining the role and status of cutters. While cutting plants have been a modernized yet risky technique used in Europe to meet about a quarter of the demand, 'Coupeurs de France' seeks to standardize and improve this practice across France and Europe.
