ഀ Die vraag onstaan hoeveel pakstore het hul eieഀ kwaliteitskontrole-sisteem, met ander woorde hoeveel pakstore inspekteerഀ sakkies voordat dit versend word. Die meerderheid pakstore verpak sakkiesഀ en versend dit sonder om 'n enkele sakkie oop te maak en te inspekteer.ഀ Daar word aanvaar dat die inhoud reg is en dat agente sal aandui as ietsഀ "nie reg is nie".  Aartappels SA het aan die begin vanഀ 2018 'n kwaliteitsindeks ontwikkel wat deur pakstore gebruik kan word tenഀ einde te verseker dat hul prdouk van hoogstaande gehalte is...

Thereഀ are over 4,000 edible varieties of potato, mostly found in the Andes ofഀ South America. Potato is the third most important food crop in the worldഀ after rice and wheat in terms of human consumption. More than a billionഀ people worldwide eat potato, and global total crop production exceeds 300ഀ million metric tons. Potato is a critical crop in terms of food securityഀ in the face of population growth and increased hunger rates. For example,ഀ China, the world’s biggest consumer of potatoes, expects that fully 50%ഀ of the increased food production it will need to meet demand in the nextഀ 20 years will come from potatoes.
