 begin quotes:

 

Potatoes likely reached Borneo, along with other parts of Southeast Asia, via European traders and colonial networks between the late 17th and 18th centuries

. While brought to Europe in the 16th century, they spread to Asian regions later, establishing in regional trade routes around the same time as their introduction to China. 

• Initial Spread: The potato originated in the Andes and was brought to Europe in the 16th century, from where it spread globally through shipping routes.
• Arrival in Asia: By the late 17th century, potatoes were established in parts of Asia, carried by traders.
• Borneo Context: Given the colonial trade routes (Portuguese, Dutch, and British) and the proximity to earlier established regions like China and India, the introduction to Borneo likely occurred during this 17th-18th century period, often spreading first to colonial trading posts before moving inland.
