Since 2002 the breeding know-how and the varieties of two traditional and well-known companies have been incorporated into the brand EUROPLANT:

• KARTOFFELZUCHT BÖHM
Inh. Gebr.. Böhm KG in Lüneburg/Germany

• NORDKARTOFFELZuchtgesellschaft mbH

in Ebstorf/Germany

In combination with the scientific expertise of BIOPLANT and the comprehensive breeding know-how of BNA, both located in Ebstorf/Lower Saxony, we have been holding a leading position in our industrial sector for years.

BNA –the right variety for each purpose

BNA is part of a wide network of breeding and research stations in the most important potato cultivating regions of Europe. With decades of experience and their special commitment the breeders at BNA can guarantee that new, competitive and high-performance potato varieties will be put on the market regularly.

BIOPLANT – research for the future

Our sister company BIOPLANT is in charge of the production of our in-vitro-plantlets – they form the basis of our seed potato production programme. BIOPLANT is also host to the main biotechnology research centre of our company group.

High-quality production

In cooperation with BNA and BIOPLANT, we propagate our prebasic seed potatoes exclusively on our own farms. Highly specialized farmers multiply the next generations in the best potato growing areas of Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Through our European subsidiaries we also produce seed potatoes in favoured regions of the neighbouring European countries.
