Our potato varieties
Our crisping, french fry and table varieties make a difference in challenging circumstances and respond to changing market demands.
High value potato varieties, now and in the future
Access to food is not self-evident in all areas of the world. Global demand for potatoes is growing, whilst changing growing conditions and regulations pose major challenges.
The world is changing rapidly, driven by climate, technology, sustainability and new markets. By closely monitoring trends and developments across the entire potato value chain, we turn our insights into a clear vision for the future. As the development and market acceptance of potato varieties takes a long time, we look well ahead. It is on the basis of this vision that we determine how best we can respond as a company.
“The development of a new potato variety takes an average of 8 to 12 years. Together with partners in the chain, we aim to shorten this period”.
- Guus Heselmans
