Coco is a high-performing, medium-early table variety ideal for fresh market and pre-packing. It produces uniform, oval-shaped, yellow-skinned tubers with shallow eyes and smooth skin. Notable for its very high yield, long dormancy (ideal for storage), and broad disease resistance including to PVY, silver scurf, and internal defects. It offers firm cooking quality and excellent appearance retention after cooking and peeling.
