The present study aims at investigating an important economic sector of Metsovo Municipality, namely the potato cultivation at the Politses plateau, in Chrisovitsa. Towards this direction, a field survey was conducted by means of structured interviews from a representative sample of potato producers. The results prove that the potato cultivation in the area of interest constitutes an important economic activity for the local community. Some particular characteristics of Chrisovitsa potato crop, such as the altitude of the plateau, the quality of irrigation water and the cultivation period, give the product a clear advantage in the market. Besides advantages, however, the economic activity encounters serious difficulties. Nevertheless, it seems that the future could be promising, provided that specific measures are undertaken.
