List of Pre-Basic and Basic Seed Potato Crops Inspected for Marketing 2020

Ireland is designated by the European Union (EU) as a protected region for seed potatoes. Only pre-basic and basic grades of seed potatoes may be marketed in protected regions. Packages of basic grade seed potatoes carry a white label and pre-basic grades carry a white label with a diagonal violet line.

Lower grade certified seed potatoes, which carry a blue label and are produced outside of the protected regions, cannot be marketed in Ireland. This document provides the 2020 list of pre-basic and basic seed potato crops inspected for marketing.
