At Agrico, we are committed to, and invest in, knowledge and research. This has enabled us to cultivate a wide range of unique potato varieties that display effective resistance, strong variety characteristics and a high yield. In our greenhouse complex we also carry out extensive research into irrigation techniques, and we mimic day and night conditions and different climates. Thanks to these innovations, we’re growing even better varieties for the future. 

All Agrico UK crops are independently inspected and certified. We work in partnership with SASA, APHA, DAERA & DAFM Ireland to ensure our crops are grown following the necessary protocols and meet the required market standards. 

Certification demonstrates that our seed potatoes are healthy and meet the high standards critical to the Seed Potato Sector. 

In addition to Seed Potato Classification Scheme (SPCS) requirements, our production team are committed to further quality assurance. We conduct growing crop visits, yield digs, post-harvest store sampling and hot box testing to gain a complete understanding of our crops. Underpinned by our skin finish scoring system, helping identify market and seed suitability. Furthermore, Agrico UK are Safe Haven accredited. 

At Agrico, we are keen to share our experience, insights and knowledge with our growers and customers. We are also very interested in hearing about your experiences, insights, knowledge and preferences. We believe that active knowledge sharing contributes directly to the improvement, strengthening and sustainability of global potato value chains. We see the whole world as our field. Because our organisation is established within an extensive and close-knit network, we can connect with you just about anywhere. 

Agrico can take care of your logistics requirements from grower to customer. Using a UK wide network of experienced hauliers, we strive to meet customers’ requirements in a timely and effective manner. 

We act as ambassadors for the potato industry with a natural commitment to UK seed production. A number of Agrico UK employees sit on the boards and committees of various national organisations (BPTA, James Hutton Institute, Pre-Basic Growers Association, Food and Drink Federation) that help guide and influence the UK potato industry.

Agrico Research works intensively on developing new, innovative potato varieties and is the leading knowledge institute in this field. We work on various breeding objectives aimed at developing varieties to meet the specific wishes of growers, the processing industry and consumer demand, both now and in the future, and around the world.
