The correct sequence is the reverse. Variety selection determines market channel, which determines storage requirements, certification needs, and the quality standard the cleared field must meet.

Starting with a small test area (0.5\u20131.0 ha) of a new variety before committing a commercial area is the most reliable way to identify variety-specific management requirements without risking a full season&#8217;s revenue on an untested combination of variety, buyer, and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; gap: 10px; margin: 16px 0 28px 0; font-size: clamp(12px,1.3vw+8px,14px);\">\n<div style=\"background: #fff; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; border-left: 5px solid #f07c00; border-radius: 0 6px 6px 0; padding: 14px 18px; box-sizing: border-box;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #f07c00; margin: 0 0 6px 0;\">Stage 1 Farm (Year 1\u20132, clearing just completed)<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 6px 0; color: #555;\"><strong>100% Sumi.<\/strong> No diversification in the first 2 years.

Dubaek is the best variety for farms specifically positioned for the cold-storage January premium \u2014 at 600 m+ altitude with cold storage operational, Dubaek&#8217;s January price (1,600\u20132,200 KRW\/Kg Grade 1) is approximately 30\u201380% higher than Sumi&#8217;s equivalent period price. Atlantic is only &#8220;best&#8221; for the specific farm profile that already has a confirmed crisp manufacturer supply contract and a separate CIS cold storage zone \u2014 without both of those conditions already in place, Atlantic should not be grown. There is no single &#8220;best variety&#8221; answer independent of the farm&#8217;s altitude, market relationships, and infrastructure \u2014 the decision framework in this guide resolves the choice for each specific farm situation.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5; padding: 16px 0;\">\n<summary style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #1a1a1a; cursor: pointer; line-height: 1.5;\">Is Dubaek vs Sumi a meaningful distinction at harvests below 600m altitude?<\/summary>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0 0 0; color: #555; line-height: 1.8;\">Yes \u2014 Dubaek is not the same variety at 450 m as it is at 700 m. At 450 m altitude, Dubaek&#8217;s skin quality and dry matter both fall below the premium threshold because the night temperatures (typically 15\u201318\u00b0C in July\u2013August at 450 m) are not cool enough to trigger the skin thickening and starch accumulation that characterise premium Dubaek. The variety name on the bag is the same, but the resulting tuber quality does not meet the premium cold-storage Dubaek specification. Korean highland buyers who pay the Dubaek premium are typically sourcing from 600\u2013900 m farms specifically. At 450\u2013550 m, Sumi produces reliably good quality without the altitude dependency, and should be preferred over Dubaek unless the specific farm can demonstrate it consistently achieves Dubaek premium-standard tubers from its altitude.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 16px 0;\">\n<summary style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #1a1a1a; cursor: pointer; line-height: 1.5;\">Can Sumi be grown for certified seed production alongside fresh market production?<\/summary>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0 0 0; color: #555; line-height: 1.8;\">Yes \u2014 Sumi is the most in-demand variety for the NAAS Korean certified seed potato programme. Many Korean highland farms split their Sumi area into a commercial block (fresh market sale) and a certified seed block (NAAS inspection field, seed sale at 3,000\u20136,000 KRW\/Kg). The certified seed block requires: NAAS field registration (November of the year before seeding), isolation distance from other Sumi plantings and solanaceous crops, and compliance with the vine-killing and harvest timing protocols that certified seed production requires. Korea Watanabe supports customers in the <a style=\"color: #f07c00; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold;\" href=\"https:\/\/rock-crusher-tractor.com\/ja\/product-category\/rock-crusher\/\">\u77f3\u7834\u7815\u6a5f<\/a> and certified seed programme with field registration documentation and the stone clearing standard verification (50-position probe test) that the NAAS inspection requires from certified seed fields. The premium for certified seed over fresh market Sumi (approximately 2\u20135\u00d7 per kg) makes the addition of a certified seed block to the commercial Sumi area one of the highest-return management decisions available on a well-cleared highland farm.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding: 16px 0;\">\n<summary style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #1a1a1a; cursor: pointer; line-height: 1.5;\">Are there newer Korean potato varieties beyond Sumi, Daejima, Dubaek, and Atlantic worth considering in 2025?<\/summary>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0 0 0; color: #555; line-height: 1.8;\">NAAS releases new variety candidates periodically, and some breeding lines with improved late blight resistance or higher dry matter are progressing toward commercial release. As of 2025, the four varieties covered in this guide represent the varieties with established commercial release status, confirmed supply chain infrastructure, and multi-season commercial-scale performance data across Korean highland altitude zones. Two NAAS breeding lines are reportedly approaching commercial release \u2014 including a late blight-resistant Sumi-type variety and a high-dry-matter Dubaek-type candidate \u2014 but neither has yet received the commercial market buyer confirmation and certified seed supply infrastructure that would make them recommendable for commercial production planning in the 2025 season and confirmed market channels at scale. Newer NAAS varieties may show improved performance in research trials but have not yet established the buyer network, certified seed supply, and commercial-scale agronomic data that the four established varieties have. Korea Watanabe monitors new variety releases and will advise customers when a newly released variety has achieved the market channel confirmation and commercial-scale field data that warrants incorporation into the farm&#8217;s rotation. For farms currently selecting varieties for the next planting season, the four established varieties remain the commercially reliable choices in 2025.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"padding: 16px 0;\">\n<summary style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #1a1a1a; cursor: pointer; line-height: 1.5;\">How does the Korean highland potato variety choice affect the specific machinery from the Watanabe system needed?<\/summary>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0 0 0; color: #555; line-height: 1.8;\">The core stone clearing system (THOR 2.4 + CT-2100) is identical for all four varieties \u2014 the stone clearing standard is driven by the crop&#8217;s root development requirements, not the specific market destination. The potato machinery choices depend on variety in two specific ways: (1) Atlantic requires a separate cold storage temperature zone (8\u201310\u00b0C CIS) independent of the fresh variety cold room (3\u20135\u00b0C) \u2014 this affects the cold storage infrastructure, not the field machinery; (2) Daejima requires the most precise moisture management during the bulking phase (Day 55\u201375 after planting) to prevent hollow heart \u2014 this makes drip irrigation precision and the uniform ridge formation from the PSW-3200 particularly critical for Daejima, more so than for Sumi or Dubaek.
