Armedi is an early maincrop processing variety with oval long tubers and a good yield, which makes it very suitable for the French fries industry.
Armedi has resistance to pallida and G. rostochiensis and it has a fantastic frying quality until the end of the season. Armedi is not only suitable for the French fries industry, but because of its beautiful skin, it can also be sold washed and pre-packed.
