A very important event is behind us!
On February 21, new elections of the Board of the Polish Potato Association were held in Pikutkowo.
The main point of the meeting was, of course, the election of a new Chairman of the Board of the Association, after Dr. Wojciech Nowacki – the founder and member of the Board since 2002 – resigned.
Over the past 21 years, the Association has helped thousands of farmers, attended hundreds of meetings and actively participated in the fight for the welfare of domestic producers, processors and any entrepreneurs associated with the potato industry.
During the General Assembly, members of the Association thanked Dr. Wojciech Nowacki, and in recognition of his work to date and the creation of one of the largest potato organizations in Europe, he was appointed “Honorary President of the Polish Potato Association.”
