Attending the Potato Business School was a great experience that I would highly recommend to anyone working with potatoes. It was great to get an in-depth overview of the entire potato production system, from breeding to evaluation, harvest and storage. There was a lot to learn, but delivered at a level appropriate for experts and non-experts alike. Among the benefits of the course were that the participants all came from different backgrounds so shared their experiences in the potato industry. The course was a good mix of clear presentations followed by practical visits to nearby farms and companies to see what we learned in practice. It was organised very well, as they managed to contain so much in so little time.

PBSEmmeloord is a powerful boost for the potato growth worldwide

Flevoland is home to many prominent, internationally oriented companies representing all parts of the potato chain. The potato growth in Flevoland represents a yearly turnover of 200 million Euro. With Emmeloord as the potato capital of the world. Several companies in Emmeloord joined forces and together founded the PBSE. It is a powerful concept, which fills me with pride. A concept that the Province of Flevoland gladly contributed to. PBSE provides the potato business with a new impulse for Flevoland and the rest of the world.

I therefore firmly recommend the PBSEmmeloord to you.
