We’re excited to present the 2023 International Potato Center Annual Report! This year’s report underscores our commitment to advancing four key science goals:
- Biodiversity: Mobilizing genetic diversity to enrich agroecologies and livelihoods.
- Crop Improvement: Developing superior crop varieties to meet evolving farmer and consumer demands.
- Regenerative Agriculture: Enhancing productivity and building resilience through sustainable practices.
- Urban Food Systems: Adapting innovations to improve urban diets and livelihoods.
Dive into our achievements and see how we’re driving change in these critical areas. Share the report with your partners, funders, and stakeholders to spread the impact of our work.

A key story from #CIPAR2023 focuses on CIP’s work to conserve and mobilize agrobiodiversity.
Our cryopreservation efforts are at the core of creating climate-resilient crops for a food-secure future.
A featured story in #CIPAR2023: @Cipotato’s Genebank maintains the world’s largest potato cryobank with over 5,000 accessions stored at -196°C!
Discover how we’re preserving biodiversity for future generations.
From #CIPAR2023: With climate change on the rise, Cipotato’s hybrid breeding program is driving the development of climate-resilient crops like sweetpotato, vital for future food security.
Hybrid breeding innovation is the future of crop improvement!
A story from #CIPAR2023 highlights how @cipotato is delivering sweetpotato varieties with higher yields, improved nutrition, and resilience to environmental stress.
@Cipotato’s PZTM project is showing how mulching over tilling can transform potato farming—improving productivity while protecting the environment.
Find out more about this game-changing initiative.
Coming from #CIPAR2023
Discover how @Cipotato’s “Potato Zero Tillage through Rice Straw Mulch” (PZTM) is revolutionizing potato farming by boosting soil health and empowering smallholder farmers.
In the face of rapid urbanization, food systems must adapt to nourish cities sustainably.
Ollas Communes in Lima, supported by @Cipotato, are addressing this by reducing food waste, feeding communities, and promoting urban agriculture.

#CIPAR22
One of the stories in #CIPAR2023 focuses on how @Cipotato is preserving and mobilizing the world’s crop genetic diversity.
Our Genebank conserves 16,497 accessions from 83 countries, and our pioneering cryopreservation efforts store plant materials at -196°C to ensure they thrive for centuries. Discover how we’re shaping the future of agriculture and safeguarding biodiversity for future generations.
One of our Annual Report stories highlights CIP’s groundbreaking work in crop improvement through hybrid breeding of sweetpotato!
With yield improvements of up to 132%, our innovative approach is helping to secure food sources for millions in Africa and beyond.
From #CIPAR2023: CIP’s PZTM project is leading the way in regenerative agriculture by empowering farmers—especially women—to adopt sustainable practices.
By replacing traditional tilling with mulching, we’re seeing increased productivity, soil conservation, and community resilience.
One of the highlights from #CIPAR2023—Ollas Communes, like the one started by Julia Burges in Manchay, have become lifelines for many during the pandemic and beyond.
Supported by CIP’s training in urban agriculture and business skills, these communal kitchens are not only feeding people but also empowering communities.
