Our potato varieties for Southern Africa
Our potato varieties have been narrowed down and selected from Agrico's wide range of world class genetics through rigourous trials carried out throughout Zimbabwe. We have chosen these varieties based on various key characteristics that we feel offer our solutions to some of the challenges faced in potato production. From fast high yielding potatoes for the fresh market; to high dry matter options for processors. We feel confident that we have a variety that will add value to any potato business.
We are fortunate to have the full support of Agrico's technical team behind and us, and we are constantly investing in our research and development into variety selection to ensure that we will be able to fulfill every customer's needs within the local and regional potato industry.
'Say Potato say Agrico' the slogan rings true and we at Lions Den Seed live it every day.
