Abstract
The results are presented of studies concerning percentages of particular potato varieties in cultivation and in seed production. Regional differentiation was studied basing on the situation in two representative regions: mazowieckie and wielkopolskie. A low stability of the scattered seed market was stated, as well as a considerable differentiation of varietal structure in seed production when compared to that in production for use. The regional differentiation was evident in percentages of potato variety groups in the market. Implementation of the new policy by the varieties’ owners and introduction of the list of recommended varieties are expected to increase concentration of the varietal structure.
