“…Due to their heavy loam soil, the majority of research papers discuss the removal of soil clods from the harvesting process [ Bulgakov et al. (2017 ; Bulgakov et al., 2019 ; Bulgakov et al., 2020 ; Bulgakov et al., 2021 )]. The harvesting may be fully-mechanised however the removal of soil clods is still done manually which can be labor-intensive and expensive [ Bulgakov et al.…”

“…One outcome which is impacted by varying the forward speed is tuber damage and loss. For example, Bulgakov et al. (2021) found that increasing forward speed from 2.9–7.9km/h while increasing their rotor diameter from 0.65–1m decreased their tuber damage rate from 4.2% to 1.5%.…”

Potatoes are the fourth most important crop for human consumption. In the 18 century, potatoes saved the European population from starvation, and since then, it has become one of the primary crops cultivated in countries such as Spain, France, Germany, Ukraine and the United Kingdom. Potato production worldwide reached 368.8 million tonnes in 2019, 371.1 million tonnes in 2020, and 376.1 million tonnes in 2021, with production expected to grow alongside the worldwide population. However, the agricultural sector is currently suffering from urbanization. With the next generation of farmers relocating to cities, there is a diminishing and ageing agricultural workforce. Consequently, farms urgently need innovation, particularly from a technology perspective. As a result, this work is focused on reviewing the worldwide developments in potato harvesting, with an emphasis on mechatronics, the use of intelligent systems and the opportunities that arise from applications utilising the Internet of Things (IoT). Our work covers worldwide scientific publications in the last five years, sustained by public data made available from different governments. We end our review by providing a discussion on the future trends derived from our analysis.
