Solanum tuberosum
Agria and Marfona from the Cappadocian highlands — September lift, supply to June.
Vegetables
Potato comes from the volcanic highlands: Niğde, Nevşehir and Konya sit above 1,000 metres on light ash soils that grow a clean, well-shaped tuber with good skin finish. Adana supplies an early crop from April.
Variety selection follows end use and it is worth getting right. Agria is the long oval yellow-fleshed variety with 20 to 22 % dry matter — the frying and processing standard. Marfona is a round early with lower dry matter that boils and holds shape. Lady Rosetta is a crisping variety with very high dry matter and low reducing sugars.
Storage temperature is where processing buyers get caught. Table potato holds at +4 to +6 °C, but potato held that cold converts starch to reducing sugars and will fry dark. Anything destined for crisps or chips has to be stored at +8 to +10 °C with sprout suppression. We store to the end use, and we need to know it at order.
Wording follows EU Regulation 1924/2006. Confirm permitted claims for your destination market.

Long oval tuber with smooth yellow skin and deep yellow flesh, 20 to 22 % dry matter and shallow eyes. The frying and processing standard, and it stores exceptionally well to June. The volume export variety.
Round to oval early variety with pale yellow skin and light yellow flesh at 17 to 19 % dry matter. Firm and waxy — it boils and holds shape rather than breaking up. Earlier lift than Agria and a shorter storage window.
Round red-skinned tuber with pale cream flesh, very high dry matter at 22 to 24 % and low reducing sugars. The crisping variety. Must be stored warm at +8 to +10 °C or it will fry dark regardless of dry matter.
Oval tuber with yellow skin and light yellow flesh at 19 to 21 % dry matter, a good all-rounder that bakes and fries acceptably. Attractive skin finish and uniform shape make it a strong retail pack variety.

Storage
Recommended regime from our cold rooms to your door.
Ventilated container, dark. Processing lots must NOT go below +8 °C — cold-induced sweetening makes them fry dark. Light exposure causes greening and solanine.
Indicative reference values. Not a substitute for a certificate of analysis.
