Origin and Breeding History

The Faluka variety was bred for the South European and North African markets. Harvest security and high yields under all conditions are the main criteria determining the success of a variety in these important countries.

North African consumers prefer coarse, long potatoes, making the Faluka ideal for this market.

Faluka is a cross between the Armundo and Ariëlle varieties. These varieties are round to oval in shape and both have a good yield.

The Faluka variety has white flesh and smooth, clear skin, giving it an excellent presentation.

It was bred by Freek Vos, who has been a member grower of Agrico for over 30 years.

The name Faluka refers to one of the most important final destinations for this variety, being the name of a type of sailing boat used for transport along the Nile in ancient times.

However, the variety is not only destined for Egypt; it also goes to other Arab countries, with Libya being the most important so far.
