Agria potatoes
For over 25 years Galathea BV specialises in the potato variety Agria. An oval-shaped and yellow fleshed ware potato with a smooth skin. Agria is very suitable as a table potato (fairly firm/floury) or for the production of fresh-cut fries. This is why the variety is highly popular within the convenience food market. Thanks to its long and oval shape it is possible to cut long and deep yellow fries from the tubers.

Growing Agria potatoes isn’t easy. The light and medium-heavy clay soils on the islands of Goeree-Overflakkee and Hoeksche Waard, in the Southwest of the Netherlands, is ideally suited for this variety. This means the potatoes can be stored for a long time. Aside from our own crop we work solely with dedicated suppliers to ensure a high quality. Modern crop storage facilities make sure that this potato can be delivered almost year-round. This ensures the customer with a constant and unmatched quality.

Export markets and product specifications
In the Benelux the Agria potato is valued both as a table and chipping potato. One of our most important export markets in Belgium. Other markets are Switzerland, Spain, Portugal and Italy. All our potatoes are delivered after grading. All common grades are available. Aside from these it is also possible to order baby potatoes (28-35 mm) or oversize potatoes.
Traceability: from farm to fork
Thanks to a unique co-operation with our growing partner NIVU it is possible to offer a full traceability of the crop: from field to fork. A QR-code is printed on every package. When the consumer scans this code the potato story unfolds. Where it grew, how the growing season developed but also when that exact potato was planted, cared for and harvester. Even after harvest every tuber is followed during the storage season, right up to the moment when it lies on the customers’ plate.
