The potato is a Solanaceae plant, native to South America. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, it was introduced to China during the Qing Emperor Kangxi and Qianlong years. After the liberation, the local agricultural department of Damaoqi introduced and cultivated excellent varieties such as “Liwai Huang” and “Kefu”. These have the characteristics of cold resistance, drought resistance and high yield, which not only improve the potato yield, but also ensure the potato. quality. After years of cultivation and cultivation, Damao potato has the characteristics of large block, high dry matter content, good quality, no pollution and smooth skin. It has been favored by consumers and has become a commodity with a large export and export volume of Inner Mongolia agricultural products.

Damao Banner is located in the north of Yinshan Mountain. The rain and heat are in the same season and the precipitation is less and concentrated. The long sunshine and the light have the superior climatic environment for planting potatoes. The soil is mostly chestnut soil and sandy loam.

In the process of promoting the construction of new countryside, Damaoqi established the potato planting industry as the eight flagship industries on the basis of analyzing the local soil environment, climate resource advantages and market demand. The potato bred in such a natural, geographical and human environment has the advantages of moderate size, high uniformity, good potato type and high dry matter content, and has passed the certification of pollution-free production base, and the products are exported. Major cities in China. The potato industry chain of Damaoqi has formed its own characteristics in the development process. In the aspect of production, it has already developed the development path of “company + farmer”. In terms of sales, farmers’ professional cooperatives and rural brokers are playing the main role of selling potatoes. Military role. However, with the development and expansion of the potato industry, the “company + farmer” industrial development chain has become increasingly limited due to the lack of “brand”.
