The summer potato harvest is in full swing in the Sandıklı district of Afyonkarahisar, a province known as Türkiye’s “potato warehouse”. The district cultivates potatoes on roughly 80,000-100,000 decares, yielding an annual commercial volume of 40,000-50,000 tonnes. Local producer İsmail Özel places Afyonkarahisar among the country’s top three potato-producing provinces, with Sandıklı leading. What distinguishes the district, in his account, is its fertile black soil, credited with improving both the colour and the flavour of the tubers. The commercially decisive difference is storage life: summer potatoes from other production centres typically last no more than ten days, while Sandıklı’s hold their freshness for up to two months, which drives demand. Growers are already preparing to plant winter potatoes from next month, keeping the supply cycle continuous through the year.
