GB Potatoes at Fruit Logistica 2016

Over three days in February 2016 at Berlin’s Messe, the worldwide fresh produce industry will be able to meet leading potato and horticulture organisations on the large Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) stand.

AHDB will be located in the same place - HALL 8.2, STAND B-06 - show-casing GB’s potato varieties and crop research expertise to over 67,000 trade visitors.

The AHDB Exports brand develops agricultural and horticultural export opportunities from Britain and provides a marketing platform at overseas events for our industry to promote, do business and network.

“Eighty per-cent of all GB seed potatoes (500,000 tonnes) are grown in Scotland, supported by strong plant health credentials and the largest high-health region in the EU. Seed exports from Scotland are growing year-on-year and last season peaked at 120,000 tonnes with a value of around £42million.”

“We’re excited about our newly-branded AHDB Exports stand at Fruit Logistica, which features more exhibitors than ever this year. The stand will feature a range of organisations from the UK’s fresh produce and potato industries, plus crop science and government plant health experts. Our joint industry endeavour shows the strengths of the UK potato and horticulture sectors at Fruit Logistica and we look forward to supporting our industry in Berlin next February.”
