Danespo A/S e Germicopa Report Positive Developments in Punchy Potato Fields

Danespo A/S, in collaboration with Germicopa, is excited to report significant progress in the development of new potato varieties, specifically focusing on the “Punchy” variety. This promising cultivar has shown great potential, and recent field visits in Germany have reinforced the positive outlook among industry professionals.

Last week, key representatives from Danespo’s German team, including Caspar Engelmann, Osswald Christian, and Henning Behrens, conducted an extensive evaluation of several Punchy potato fields across Germany. They were joined by Vianney Gerigeon, Product Manager at Germicopa, to assess the performance and viability of this new variety.

The field visits revealed that the Punchy variety is performing exceptionally well under German growing conditions. Both Danespo e Germicopa teams were highly impressed by the crop’s characteristics, which include strong resistance to diseases, consistent tuber size, and a robust yield potential. These attributes are critical for ensuring that the variety can meet the demands of both farmers and the broader market.

Dados os bons resultados observados, existe um entusiasmo partilhado entre as equipas em continuar a expandir o cultivo da variedade Punchy. Os resultados destas avaliações iniciais são encorajadores e planeiam avançar com ensaios em maior escala e desenvolvimento adicional nas próximas temporadas. Este esforço contínuo visa solidificar a posição da Punchy como uma adição valiosa ao mercado da batata, oferecendo benefícios aos produtores, processadores e consumidores.

As the industry looks to the future, Danespo A/S e Germicopa are committed to supporting the development and introduction of innovative potato varieties that cater to the evolving needs of the global agricultural landscape.
