TPC has its own well-thought-out breeding programme for new potato varieties. We work from Emmeloord with independent breeders who help us build up our range of varieties. These skilled entrepreneurs can deliver quick results, enabling TPC research to select new varieties quickly and purposefully and to register them for the variety list after an average of five years. This makes The Potato Company the only trading house able to introduce new varieties to the market in a short period of time. This also ensures that our growers at TPC are the most successful. TPC is strong in varieties with high resistance to potato fatigue (AM), diseases and drought. View here Our current product range.
New TPC potato varieties we are testing at 4 different locations worldwide. Potato fatigue is occurring in more and more places around the world, and diseases and drought are also affecting potatoes. With our global testing programme, we can guarantee that successful varieties are suitable for different climate zones and day lengths. This unique way of testing and the courage to make choices accelerates the development of new potato varieties by five years. This is an advantage for everyone in the chain: growers, growers and customers. Everyone has an interest in varieties that add value to the existing supply. To keep this process moving, we are always looking for new growers, who supply their own potato varieties or use our seedlings. Would you like to know more about this? Then take contact with us and we will be happy to engage with you.
