Potato wholesaler Nedato BV closed the 2015/16 financial year with a net result of 1.6 million euros. The total result is distributed to the shareholders.
Due to the better result, Nedato growers can look forward to a dividend of 142,50 euros per certificate this year. 'The result this year is slightly better than the year before. That has to do with the volumes that go through the company', explains Heero Gramsma. 'If we do that in a good and efficient way, it will yield results.'
The financial position of Nedato is good, reports the cooperative, which mainly realizes its turnover within Europe. The consolidated balance sheet shows that shareholders' equity on the balance sheet date amounts to 68 percent of the balance sheet total.
According to Nedato, this provides excellent payment security for the affiliated growers and is also a good starting point for further investments in potato sales.
'You always have to make sure that the company is up-to-date and meets the requirements. The financial situation must be such that you can come up with new products and if new machines are needed, you can invest in them. We will certainly do that.'

If you do not dare or cannot act yourself, you can let a pool do it for you.
Is an average price you do not have the highest peaks or deepest troughs.
The problem at Nedato this year is that they have already promised a number of growers to reimburse 100% for plots of potatoes that only came out 20%.
They get an average HA price from the pool while they have not yet harvested 15 tons of potatoes
That, of course, has a huge impact on the pool price.
Indeed. Nedato is not always at the top of the lists, partly because their sales to industry are very narrow, they only have a few processors they supply to and that can certainly have a negative effect in lesser years.
They are the best in the very early table segment, there are growers who have received more than €40 for frieslanders.
It is often the same 15 growers who can deliver them very early and within the quality standards at Nedato
