Although wild potatoes are native to South America, they have thrived in Europe since being introduced by Spanish colonizers in the 16th century.
Potatoes were first domesticated in Peru and Bolivia and later brought to Europe, which today leads the world in per capita production, and more recently to China and India, which collectively produce 376 million tons annually.
Millions of domesticated potatoes are cultivated each year, resulting in the rapid expansion of this crop worldwide.
