Dutch hybrid potato innovator Solynta and seed enhancement company Incotec have announced a collaboration agreement to bring world class seed technology and elite genetics to potato farmers worldwide.
The agreement will allow the companies to deepen their collaboration and provide the high-quality hybrid true potato seeds to the market.
Hybrid true potato seeds offer numerous advantages to growers and other actors in the distribution chain due to their compactness, rapid scaling, availability for year-round planting and other benefits say the companies. This is particularly important for farmers in remote areas in Africa, Asia and Central America, where the availability of high-quality starting material is limited.
