Potato Metro

The Metro potato variety is a mid-early variety characterized by high uniformity and long-term storage capacity of tubers. This variety is especially suitable for making French fries due to its high dry matter content — 22.2%, which ensures excellent quality and taste of the final product. Tubers have large size, elongated oval shape, and yellow skin with pale-yellow flesh. The surface eyes are small, which facilitates processing and preparation of potatoes for cooking.

Metro is characterized by high yield and resistance to various diseases, including leafy late blight, common scab, and viral infections. The variety has a long dormancy period, allowing for long-term storage without loss of quality. Due to good leaf development and resistance to physiological diseases such as scab, the Metro variety is suitable for cultivation in various climatic conditions, making it versatile and in demand.

This potato is widely used in traditional cuisine as well as in French fry production, without losing color after cooking. Additionally, the Metro variety can be used for feed purposes, expanding its functionality. High resistance to pests and diseases, along with excellent taste qualities, make this variety attractive to farmers and consumers.
