Traditional potato varieties

Agrico’s range of seed potatoes caters to a wide variety of global markets. Our traditional segment is built around strong, high-yielding varieties with large tubers. These multipurpose varieties are ideal for both boiling and making homemade fries – making them popular with both growers and consumers.

Traditional varieties perform especially well in overseas markets, where they are often sold directly from farms or in local markets.
