Papas negras, papas de páramo
2005
Potato seed stock for the variety known as the Black potato which is native to the
high Andes is disappearing as it is no longer used by high tech agriculture nor by home
growers. Data taken from 4 communities shows that modernization has introduced new
varieties carrying diseases which attack the native variety. Foreign varieties have replaced the native which is no longer in demand nor cultivated. Arguments in favor of re-establishing the Black potato as a commercial venture and as a home grown product are set forth.
