Sweet potato cultivation in Polynesia as a crop began around 1000 AD in central Polynesia. The plant became a common food across the region, especially in Hawaii, Easter Island and New Zealand, where it became a staple food. By the 1600s in central Polynesia, traditional cultivars were being replaced with hardier and larger varieties from the Americas (a process which began later in New Zealand, in the early 1800s). Many traditional cultivars are still grown across Polynesia, but they are rare and are not widely commercially grown.

dbo:abstract
  • La culture de la patate douce en Polynésie a commencé vers 1 000 après JC en Polynésie centrale. La plante est devenue un aliment courant dans toute la région, en particulier à Hawaï, sur l'île de Pâques ainsi qu'en Nouvelle-Zélande. Dans les années 1600, en Polynésie centrale, les cultivars utilisées sont remplacés par des variétés plus résistantes et plus grandes venant des Amériques (même phénomène en Nouvelle-Zélande, mais plus tard, au début des années 1800). De nombreux cultivars traditionnels sont encore cultivés en Polynésie, mais ils sont rares et ne sont plus cultivés à des fins commerciales. On ne sait pas comment la patate douce a commencé à être cultivée dans le Pacifique, mais le consensus scientifique indique que la présence de patate douce en Polynésie est la preuve d'un contact ancien de la Polynésie avec l'Amérique du Sud. Cependant, certaines études génétiques de cultivars traditionnels suggèrent que la patate douce a été présente en Polynésie avant l'introduction humaine. (fr)

Many traditional cultivars are still grown across Polynesia, but they are rare and are not widely commercially grown. It is unknown how sweet potato began to be cultivated in the Pacific, but the current scholarly consensus is that the presence of sweet potato in Polynesia is evidence of Polynesian contact with South America. However, some genetic studies of traditional cultivars suggest that sweet potato was first dispersed to Polynesia before human settlement. (en)
