Decision snapshot
Regional screening evidenceScreening answer: The stored regional profile passes this first climate screen at the representative centroid. Parcel conditions and commercial feasibility still require verification.
Scope: This page assesses agronomic suitability. It does not determine whether cultivation is legal. Check current national, state, and local rules before planting.

Assumptions, fit-shortfall, and next checks
A representative centroid and regional climate window cannot establish parcel soil, water access, elevation, infrastructure, labour, contracts, or local farm-gate economics. Use this page to identify the next question, then verify local evidence before committing capital.
Sowing Potatoes in Germany
Regional sowing guidance requires crop- and region-specific evidence. Climate temperature context alone does not establish suitability.
Monthly soil-temperature context
Select a month. Meeting a temperature threshold does not establish sowing suitability; temperature alone does not determine suitability.

No verified crop-region establishment criteria are available; climate context alone does not establish sowing suitability.

Market Demand — Potatoes
Global consumption & trade · FAO 2010–2023Is Potatoes viable in Germany?
Potatoes passes this regional climate screen in Germany: growing-season temperatures (~15.9°C) fall within its 15–20°C range. Potatoes (Vegetables, annual) performs best around 15 - 20 °C with a seasonal water requirement of 500 mm / season. Run a coordinate-level audit for mapped field-level estimates and local risk context.

Regional sowing guidance requires crop- and region-specific evidence. Climate temperature context alone does not establish suitability.
Growing Potatoes in Germany: what to expect
Annual rainfall in Germany is about 725 mm, while the stored Potatoes profile lists about 500 mm per crop season. Those periods are not directly comparable and cannot establish irrigation need; verify in-season effective rainfall, crop stage, soil water storage and system efficiency locally. By temperature, Potatoes in Germany is sown in May and harvested in September; on land without irrigation the rains can move that.
