Description
It takes about ten years before a new potato variety is ready for market. So our breeders and researchers are always one step ahead of time.
It is clear, then, that a great deal of ability and foresight is needed to define the objectives of a new breeding programme in advance. To keep pace with constant changes, finely honed skill in breeding is as essential as scientifically sound work in the laboratory.
Together, we have set ourselves the goal of supplying future-proof, high-yielding potato varieties that taste good, are resistant to pests and diseases and are ideally matched to the regions where they are grown.
Thanks to the use of modern varieties, farmers are able to achieve more stable yields and reduce their application of plant protection products.
