Due to the different conditions and requirements in various locations, many potato varieties exist all over the world. These varieties correspond with the different purposes for which the crop is grown, with the different tastes and prefences of the people and with the different environments in which the crops are grown. Some varieties can be grown in many places and have a wide range of usability; others are meant for very specific purposes or for specific environmental conditions. Apart from production capacity, an important varietal characteristic is the resistance to pests and diseases. Breeding work is constantly going on the developing of new varieties, combining high yield and other favourable characteristics with new or improved resistance to all kinds of pathogens. Only varieties listed on the Estonian Official Variety List are premitted to grow for the purpose of seed selling. This paper is dealing with description of all the listed varieties during 1999...2001 as potato growers have lack of information how foreign varieties behave in local conditions. Most of the listed varieties have only variety description. The most important characteristics as yielding capacity, starch content, resistance to late bligh and tuber rots have been tested in this study
