he 2020/2021 campaign is progressing according to plan and is in its final phase. It is expected that Avebe will process the remaining stock of starch potatoes at the Gasselternijveen location until mid-May.
The average tare percentage is comparable to last year (4.3 to 4.5 percent). The starch content is on average over 19 percent. For the growers, the yields of starch potatoes differ per area due to the strongly varying growing conditions.
