Naxos is the largest island in the Cyclades and its eponymous variety of potatoes has been grown here since the late 18th century. Sold all over Europe, the crop is an important part of the local economy. Sowing and harvesting takes place twice a year with the second time happening every September. Euronews went to meet Naxos potato farmers and learn more about a crop under threat.
