There are about 5,000 potato varieties worldwide. Three thousand of them are found in the Andes alone, mainly in Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Chile, and Colombia. They belong to eight or nine species, depending on the taxonomic school.
Potatoes, like many other crops, come in many different varieties which have varying periods of time to grow to maturity. Some red types can be harvested for small, stewing-type potatoes in as little as 8 to 10 weeks. Others can be harvested in about three months.
