Russia pushed ahead in 2026 with breeding and certifying new domestic potato varieties. The Federal Research Center of Potato named after Lorkh developed a mid-early variety, Alfa, with red skin, yellow flesh, virus resistance, and a potential yield of 60-65 t/ha under irrigation, now submitted to the State Commission for testing. The State Register of Breeding Achievements also gained Konkurent and Shudbur for the Volga-Vyatka region, plus Mira, a two-toned variety from Krasnoyarsk State Agrarian University now approved in four regions. Gorsky State Agrarian University bred Farn and Adeon, built to withstand heat, drought, and viruses. On seed production, Rosselkhoztsentr is certifying seed-growing farms in Stavropol Krai, where the Meristemnye Kultury greenhouse complex is producing super-elite seed potatoes across 11 varieties, including Valentina and Volzhanin. Together, this points to a national push to strengthen Russia's seed supply and cut reliance on imports.
In 2026, Russia is actively advancing the creation and certification of new domestically bred potato varieties. The Federal Research Center of Potato named after Lorkh has developed a new mid-early variety, “Alfa,” distinguished by its red skin, yellow flesh, resistance to viruses, and potential yield of up to 60–65 t/ha under irrigation; the variety has already been submitted to the State Commission for testing. Several other new varieties have been added to the State Register of Breeding Achievements, including “Konkurent” and “Shudbur” for the Volga-Vyatka region, and “Mira,” a two-colored-skin variety from Krasnoyarsk State Agrarian University approved for cultivation in four regions. Meanwhile, scientists at Gorsky State Agrarian University have bred “Farn” and “Adeon,” varieties resistant to heat, drought, and viruses, addressing the needs of hotter climates.
