The International Day of the Potato will be globally celebrated on May 29, 2026, hosted by the Kingdom of Lesotho. FAO Director-General QU Dongyu shared a video message for this occasion. The theme, "Where potatoes grow, livelihoods flourish," underscores the crop's vital role.
Potatoes are crucial for supporting farmer livelihoods and value chains worldwide, from their Andean origins to communities across Africa, Europe, and Asia. Promoting sustainable production and strengthening value chains, this crop contributes significantly to poverty reduction, improved resilience, and inclusive agrifood systems.

A successful pilot cleanup in Tajikistan addressed a dangerous Soviet-era pesticide landfill. The FAO, with Global Environment Facility support, excavated 33 tons of toxic pesticides and over 5,000 tons of contaminated soil, making the land safe for greenhouses.
This initiative demonstrates that international cooperation and strict safety standards can restore severely contaminated land for sustainable farming and community well-being. It provides a blueprint for tackling over 200 similar toxic mini-landfills nationwide, protecting public health and the environment.
