Spring is here and so is a new issue of Potato Business Digital (PBD), which comes bearing exclusive articles on the latest developments in technology, storage and more.

In this edition, PBD tackles the issue of sustainability for conventional and organic farms, and creating an environmentally focused future. International industry collaboration must focus on ensuring that food loss is reduced throughout the farming and sorting process, so that we can use as much as possible from what we produce. Improving waste management efforts is only a part of sustainability practices in factories, however. Another important factor to consider is the lower maintenance requirement of modern processing equipment in the context of streamlining plant operations and saving costs.

The main challenges surrounding the crop washing process, for example, center around maintaining crop quality throughout each process, as well as keeping downtime to a minimum, by eliminating equipment damage and choosing low-maintenance systems. The latest advancement in technology dedicated to the potato processing industry are discussed in the article tackling the cutting, peeling and slicing processes. But this Spring issue also takes a look at the latest trends in automated storage control, as well as novelties pertaining to smart packaging. You can read all about these topics in the newest Potato Business Digital magazine, Spring 2020 edition, which is available in an easy-to-read format for both tablet and mobile.
