POTATO EXPORT DATA
Scotland has been exporting seed and ware potatoes around the world for many decades. Data on the volume of trade, export destinations and varieties exported are collected each month from Phytosanitary Certificates issued by the Scottish Government.
These webpages give a summary of the Scottish potato trade to countries requiring a Phytosanitary Certificate. All figures exclude trade with countries which are currently members of the European Union (EU). However, they include exports to the Canary Islands, which are part of Spain but have a special phytosanitary status within the EU.
Detailed information on seed or ware potato export volumes, destinations and varieties can be accessed by choosing the corresponding link on the left hand menu.
The changes in volume of seed potatoes exported from Scotland over the past 11 years are shown in the chart above.
