Netherlands Sees Significant Decline in ATR-Class Potato Seed Growing Area

ATR-class potato seed growing area in Netherlands experienced a notable decrease. Total market potato seed planting remained almost unchanged compared to last year.

Changes in ATR and E classes are being closely monitored by sector experts.

Submission deadline for market potato seed applications extended because of recent fire. Fire at NorthC data center in Almere caused disruptions in submission processes.

Square footage shifts mainly affected ATR and E class potato seed categories. Fontane variety remains most planted potato, followed by Agria and Spunta species.
