Being one of the basic food products in the Russian Federation, potatoe requires special attention to themselves as a crop from the certification bodies of seed material. Currently, in the Russian Federation, 83.5% of the used seed material of potatoes meets the requirements of the standard. However, this situation cannot be considered satisfactory, since the mass producers of potatoes continue to use non-certified seed. The article proposes measures to remedy this situation.
