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.
Again this year, we have our normal trial fields, where variety trials are carried out in both chip, edible and potato-free varieties.
This year we have incl. measuring varieties 26 varieties included in the experiment.
The pictures are from planting the varieties in one of our experimental fields in Stoholm, where our Agro team Mia and Jens helped to keep track of the big puzzle.
The weather was perfect for planting potatoes and we are excited to follow the new varieties through the growing season.
Our drying containers – now with logo and ready to be used for our seed potatoes
The Agro department was out last week putting our test varieties in the field, and the weather was with us.
Every year we have both mini- and large-scale trials to test new varieties, in order to constantly be at the forefront of developments
in the industry and thereby be able to optimize the finances of both suppliers and customers.
There are some exciting varieties this year and we are excited to follow their development.
We had a fantastic day for our Open House event on Friday 24 August 2018.
Our guess is that there were approx. 300 visitors from near and far during the day.
thanks to everyone who took the time to come by and celebrate the big day with us.
Below are some pictures from the day
In order to meet an increasing demand for organic potatoes for the chips and peeling industry, we are erecting a new building, containing a new warehouse and production plant with the aim of being able to handle the organic part of our production, as well as our peeling and French fries potatoes.
The storage capacity in the new warehouse will be 58,000 hkg. in boxes. The warehouse will be equipped with room cooling and pressurized ventilation between the boxes, which contain approx. 1800 kg per piece
The new production facility will be set up so that we can better handle peeled and French fries than we can in our current facility, as we will, among other things, have much better options for size sorting of both unwashed and washed products, so that we can better meet the wishes of our customers have.
