Members of a Danish farmers co-operative experienced a packed 3-day tour of the Angus potato industry recently.
The delegates were members of KMC, a co-operative owned by potato farmers from throughout Denmark who specialize in growing 30,000ha of potatoes for starch production.
They enjoyed a packed itinerary organized and hosted by SoilEssentials, the Forfar based precision farming technology company.
Charlotte Hou, Executive Secretary of KMC:
"For more than 80 years, we have been growing, developing, and producing potato-based ingredients for the global food industry - serving more than 80 countries across the globe."
"We are always keen to learn of new innovation in the industry, and our tour of Angus has given us that, whilst also showing us the beautiful Scottish countryside."

Jim Wilson, Managing Director at SoilEssentials commented:
"It was a pleasure for us to host the KMC delegation. We are in such a fabulous corner of Scotland for the potato industry, and it was great to be able to showcase that to overseas visitors."
"I would love to think that this will lead to stronger connections in future, in future projects and potentially increased business and trade too."
