Agrico

Agrico UK is a part of the powerful Dutch cooperative Agrico and a force for innovation within the potato sector, creating, strengthening and increasing the sustainability of potato value chains. Agrico UK operates independently to accommodate for the home market, but has the advantages that come from being part of a larger organisation.

Agrico UK choose varieties that cater for the domestic consumer preference, and that grow well in the UK climate. By working with a carefully selected team of growers on a technical level, we then multiply these varieties up to sell seed potatoes commercially to customers in the table, chipping, crisping and processing industries.
Organisation
Based at Castleton of Eassie in the heart of the Strathmore valley, Agrico UK employs 12 permanent staff covering Sales, administration, production and technical, storage and grading, logistics, research and analysis as core functions.

With administrative support from HQ, 2 Sales, Country Team management/Product management colleagues are based in the heart of potato production regions Lincolnshire and Derbyshire. 

Commitment to cooperation and partnership is in our DNA and a key factor in our aim to achieve the best solutions. We like to share our experience, insights and knowledge with our growers and customers. At the same time we like to listen to your experiences, insights, knowledge and preferences. This enables us to deliver top products and solutions.

We are a cooperative and operate under the conviction that we can achieve more together than on our own. Good growth is our motto. Good growth entails focussed research, optimised varieties, suited to local conditions and better advice to deliver larger yields, contributing directly to a sustainable, healthy and fair world. We commit every day to achieving optimal growth for all of our stakeholders. In this, we invest in the growth of our growers and buyers, and feel deeply involved with them and their progress.
