However, all along the evolution process of humankind, certain significant events seem to have happened on a suspiciously recurring basis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Thus, two human epics and a commercial endeavour had to coalesce so that the potato grown in the municipality of Sa Pobla could achieve its present quality and international renown.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Thanks to the colossal draining works of part of the Albufera (lagoon) carried out by two Englishmen -J.L.Batteman and Green- in the late XIXth century, Sa Pobla&#8217;s men and women of the early XXth century were able to break up the land and dig hundreds of wells. With the water obtained through their unflagging labour, they turned the dry terrain into an irrigation land.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This magnificent and vast land, achieved by two enlightening examples of the struggle of humankind agaist geographic difficulties, was now ready for the third factor, the arrival of the British Royal Kidney potato, whose production started Sa Pobla&#8217;s great commercial export adventure.<br \/>\nThe municipality of Sa Pobla is located in the north-east section of the island of Mallorca. Most of its 48.53 Km2 are flat. The soil is mostly made up of quaternary alluvium sediments brought in by the streams of Saint Miquel, in the north-east, and Aumedr\u00e0, in the south-east. The village is situated at an altitude of 36 metres above sea level.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Sa Pobla, formerly known as La Puebla, was declared Royal Village by King Jaime II in 1300, during the population planning of the island. Since then, Sa Pobla has been a farming village.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In the early XXth century, local potato growing increased significantly due to exports to the United Kingdom. The Royal Kidney variety, which came from the Maresme lands in Catalonia, was introduced in Sa Pobla in 1924. On that same year, 25 tons of potatoes were exported to Liverpool. In 1925, as a consequence of the promising export prospects, 200 tons of seeds were sown in a total surface of 70 hectares, which yielded 1000 tons of potatoes. 1000 tons of Royal Kidney seeds were imported in 1929. During the 1960&#8217;s, 85% of Sa Pobla&#8217;s 15,000-ton potato production was exported to the UK.<br \/>\nPotato growing in Sa Pobla has undergone a constant improvement process, both in terms of irrigation techniques and sanitary issues. New potato varieties have been grown in recent years in order to meet demand, since, in addition to the UK, export destinations now include Sweden, Denmark, The Netherlands and France.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The undisputed quality of the Sa Pobla potato is the result of the farmers&#8217; meticulous and caring work. Potato growing techniques in Sa Pobla have been handed down from one generation to the next. The Sa Pobla farming families inject love, tradition, quality and modernity in their work. Each rut of the land is filled with history and anonymous sweat.<br \/>\nThe result is one product, the Sa Pobla potato, that has no match,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><strong>Alexandre Ballester<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_fourth-b51168870d26eac9084c0e2dc495efe0 av_one_fourth  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_three_fourth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-d7b5f7089523b9bed53a95245216970c\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-d7b5f7089523b9bed53a95245216970c img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-d7b5f7089523b9bed53a95245216970c .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-d7b5f7089523b9bed53a95245216970c av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-6  el_before_av_image  avia-builder-el-first '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-976 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-976 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/www.mateuexport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/hist-1.jpg\" alt='Buy potatoes wholesale Spain' title='Buy potatoes wholesale Spain'  height=\"285\" width=\"400\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mateuexport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/hist-1.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.mateuexport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/hist-1-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mateuexport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/hist-1-260x185.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-54b5fb3400bd2030ee5eb0de46083241\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-54b5fb3400bd2030ee5eb0de46083241 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-54b5fb3400bd2030ee5eb0de46083241 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-54b5fb3400bd2030ee5eb0de46083241 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_image '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-982 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-982 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/www.mateuexport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/hist-2.jpg\" alt='Potatoes wholesale in Spain' title='Potatoes wholesale in Spain'  height=\"285\" width=\"400\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mateuexport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/hist-2.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.mateuexport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/hist-2-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mateuexport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/hist-2-260x185.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-6989b7b2282603b5d4f5985d8cc41198\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-6989b7b2282603b5d4f5985d8cc41198 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-6989b7b2282603b5d4f5985d8cc41198 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-6989b7b2282603b5d4f5985d8cc41198 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_image  avia-builder-el-last '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-979 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-979 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/www.mateuexport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/hist-3.jpg\" alt='Export company for potatoes' title='Export company for potatoes'  height=\"285\" width=\"400\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mateuexport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/hist-3.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.mateuexport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/hist-3-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mateuexport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/hist-3-260x185.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-407","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Mateu Export | Producer &amp;
