One century after the first boat carrying potatoes from trader and exporter Kees Meijer senior was loaded, his trading company has evolved into a modern potato breeding company. Based in Rilland, Erika den Daas has now been in charge of Meijer Potato as a director for almost three years.

  • Meijer Potato’s new corporate vision,
  • Developing new varieties in a customer-oriented way,
  • Being a breeding company instead of a seed
    potato trading company.

  • ‘There’s friction in the price-quality
    ratio of Dutch seed.’
