EUROPLANT Highlights Success of Potato Varieties Through International Collaboration

EUROPLANT continues to demonstrate its innovative strength by consistently translating advanced breeding results into tangible market success, driven by close collaboration across the entire EUROPLANT Group. The cooperation between EUROPLANT Germany (breeding) and EUROPLANT France and Spain (development and marketing) serves as a prime example, producing varieties that combine agronomic robustness with high market acceptance. Varieties such as CORINNA and MONIQUE exemplify this strategy. CORINNA is gaining importance in the European ware potato market and has been adopted by major supermarket chains across Europe. MONIQUE has achieved significant commercial position with ‘chair ferme’ listings in French supermarkets, offering excellent washability even after long storage — ensuring consistent taste and visual quality at the point of sale.

JELLY continues to set the benchmark as a highly robust dual-purpose variety, delivering reliable performance in both fresh and processing markets. Its excellent tolerance to drought and hot temperatures provides growers with stable yields despite climate variability and water limitations. Meanwhile, VINDIKA has been officially listed as a ‘chair ferme’ variety in French food retail, offering significant agronomic advantages through dual nematode resistance. This combination of culinary quality and resistances adds value to all partners in the potato chain, ensuring greater production reliability, improving crop rotation options, and reducing cultivation risks.
