For granules and flakes
Aviko Potato wants more potato acreage
Potato processor Aviko Potato is looking to expand potato cultivation in the northeast of the Netherlands. This concerns mashed potatoes for the production of, among other things, granules. Due to an increasing demand, the manufacturer can put extra product to good use.
Aviko Potato is aiming for 15% growth in the northeast of the Netherlands. It only concerns the cultivation of mashed potatoes for the production of potato products and granulates. To achieve this, the company is exhibiting at the agricultural fair in Assen. In this way it hopes to attract new growers.
Plus on starch
Aviko believes it has an advantage over starch potato cultivation. The yield of mashed potatoes is comparable to that of chips potatoes, but the quality requirements are lower. As a result, according to the processor, the balance is higher than for starch potatoes.
Aviko hopes to convince arable farmers with a good storage fee, fast payment and freedom in delivery time and acreage. Fast settlement and payment after delivery is important for growers, according to the company, because it improves their liquidity position.
