We believe that this essential, versatile crop deserves our investment; in terms of time, expertise, knowledge, and protection.

Our collaborative and holistic approach will provide solutions that combine culture and chemistry to help UK growers unlock the potential - and the profits - in their potato crops.
Let's unite in Perfecting Potatoes Together.

Continuing to benefit growers - GB Potatoes
GB potatoes was created in 2022, following the demise of AHDB Potatoes. The purpose was to tackle problems within the industry by bringing together the supply chain to collaborate on matters that are key priorities for the sector.
Just this month, the group announced AHDB will be asking Ministers if the residual potato levy funds can support seven industry projects, through a grant to GB Potatoes. This includes potato blight, aphid monitoring, management tools to tackle viruses, reputational management, bridging the information gap, CPIP residue monitoring and updating nutrient management. You can see a copy of the press release in our “news section”.
Their CEO Scott Walker joined us on our latest podcast, and shared a bit more about the voluntary potato body, the future and how it is already, and will continue to benefit growers.
