Abstract
The aim of this article is to assess the competitiveness of domestic and foreign potato cultivars grown in the country and to analyze the use of certified seed potatoes by the producers. The agronomic and utility value indicators were adopted as the measure of competitiveness of varieties. It has been shown that table cultivars of polish breeding in relation to foreign cultivars have generally higher agrotechnical value and higher yields but at the same time in many characteristics they have lower utility value (for example the look of tubers). The rate of use of certified seed potatoes depends on the degree of marketability of particular potato production sectors. It ranges from just 6.4% in multidirectional production to 25% in table and starch potato production, up to 40% in the production of early table potatoes and for food processing.
