Potatoes comprise such species of crops which experienced the greatest fall in the production of seeds in 1989-2006. There is a need and an economic justification to revert the decreasing tendencies in seed production and to increase the usage of qualified seed-potatoes in agriculture by 2-3 times. In light of the analysis, which was carried out, it is the demand factors, i.e. size of production and profitability of agriculture, quality of seed-potatoes and level of marketing, which are the major barriers in the restoration of seed production. Meanwhile, there is a need to limit the barriers which hamper the increase of supply (profitability of seed production, phytosanitary requirements, short life cycle of the cultivar). In 2005-2006 there has been a significant increase in market prices of seed-potatoes. The elimination of most of the barriers in market development that are discussed in the paper is necessary to rebuild seed production
