Celebrate organization
PotatoNL was launched in 2017 set up by the LNCN, NAO, Vavi and ZLTO. Their three individual potato quotations were combined into one national quotation. A steering group – with representatives from the four underlying organizations – supervises PotatoNL. A quotation committee determines the quotations every week on Monday.
