Changing demand

Consumer demands change. Reasons for this include developments in functional foods, convenience-related solutions, and organic and sustainable cultivation. Agrico follows these trends closely and responds to them promptly. Together with Agrico Research, we develop innovative varieties and concepts. Keeping in mind our customers’ current nutritional styles and expected future developments, we innovate, collaborate and ensure that we produce the best potatoes for our market.

Organic cultivation

We expect the demand for organic potato varieties to continue growing. Agrico BioSelect has a range of natural, sustainable and strong quality potatoes that are suitable for organic cultivation around the world.

With around 65 affiliated organic growers and an area of more than 750 hectares, Agrico BioSelect is the largest supplier of organically grown ware potatoes.

Our organic potatoes are processed into fries, chips, salads and chilled potato products. You can also find them in supermarkets and health food stores, washed and packaged.

Agrico BioSelect’s organic potatoes are grown organically right from the very start. All seed potatoes are inspected during and after harvesting by the General Inspection Service for Agricultural Seed and Seed Potatoes (NAK). The Dutch Organic Control Authority (SKAL) monitors compliance with organic production regulations.
