"One of our main initiatives is the revaluation of second-class potatoes"
Meet Naiara Lpz de Uralde from Udapa Sociedad Cooperativa.
At Udapa they are committed to sustainability and innovation.
"One of our main initiatives is the revaluation of second-class potatoes, which due to minor defects are not marketed fresh. To this end, we have created Paturpat, a cooperative dedicated to the production of fifth range ready-to-eat potatoes. In this way, we take advantage of all the product and generate wealth in our environment."
