Seed potatoes 2024

by

The seed potato season is in full swing and we’re enjoying it.

 

More than half of this year’s seed potatoes have been harvested and in a season like this, where there is a shortage, we use every last one.

We handle around 8,000 tons of seed potatoes annually, which takes place over a relatively short period of time.

 

Thorsens Chipskartofler A/S represents different varieties in Scandinavia, which you can read more about via the following link:

Soon the seed potatoes will be in the ground and we look forward to following their development in the soil and seeing what they contribute to the coming season.

Last week the 18th we attended the Internationaler Berliner Kartoffelabend.

An evening where approximately 500 people from the industry are gathered.
So there is always ample opportunity to spar with both growers, dealers, customers and others in the industry.

In the days after, Fruit Logistica is held, where many potato companies are also to be found.

All in all a good few days in Berlin.

On Friday, we held a grower meeting for our conventional suppliers. There was a great turnout, including a few new faces.

Last season's challenges in the field were reviewed, as well as the statistics.

We had also invited a Global G.A.P. consultant in to inform our growers about the new version, which starts here in 2024.

After various professional presentations, a small part of the growers went through the warehouses.

We appreciate the suppliers' enthusiasm and our good cooperation.

About 3 weeks ago, the last load was loaded into our warehouse in Sunds.

All warehouses are full and the corridors have also been put into use, but only with a small amount.

Our warehouses should preferably be kept completely closed until we reach the new year.

In the coming weeks, we will have used the last Lady Britta, which is in stock at our growers, and only then will we open our warehouses.

The quality of the potatoes in storage generally looks reasonable, despite a challenging season.

We look forward to following the potatoes until summer, when the last ones are usually send out.
