The newly released potato varieties, viz. Kufri Lohit, Kufri FryoM, Kufri Manik, Kufri Thar-3, Kufri Sangam, Kufri Chipsona-4 and Kufri Kiran have a great potential to improve the productivity and profitability of farmers, thus improving their socio-economic conditions. Most of these varieties are suitable for cultivation in Indian plains, while Kufri Karan is suitable for cultivation in hills and plateaus. The adoption of these varieties can lead to the rise of national average productivity and provide food and nutritional security.
