Why we do this
Based on our vision of quality, we see four key elements in what we do:

• Breeding reliable new varieties
• Supplying high quality seed potatoes
• Providing clear agronomic advice
• Supporting our customers with the sales of exclusive varieties
Together, these four elements make up a complete chain of success: with good variety characteristics and careful cultivation by experienced growers, high quality seed potatoes are produced. This will result in good yields of our ware potatoes, which ensures good marketing & sales opportunities for both seed and ware potatoes.
We work as much as possible with our growers to optimize the production process. Plantera works in the entire chain together with middle-sized companies focusing on our own strong varieties.
