Ramos

Stable Yield for Professional Processing

The «Ramos» variety from KWS is a specialized solution for those who focus on professional storage and processing of potatoes, particularly for the french fry segment. In the face of modern market requirements, this variety stands out not just for its yield, but for its predictable commercial quality.

Agronomic Profile and Resilience

The key advantage of the variety is its resistance to major soil-borne pathogens. «Ramos» effectively withstands potato cyst nematodes, potato wart, and root-knot nematodes. This makes it an optimal choice for fields with high infection pressure, where growing less resistant varieties carries a significant risk of crop loss. The mid-late growth cycle (115–125 days) allows the plant to fully develop the dense tuber structure required for long-term storage.

Tuber Characteristics: Built for French Fries

Visually, «Ramos» is recognizable: round-oval tubers with a rough yellow skin and light yellow flesh. Shallow eyes significantly simplify the peeling process at processing facilities, reducing waste percentages. Tuber weight ranges from 50 to 130 grams, which perfectly aligns with industry standards for french fry production.

With a starch content between 13–14%, the variety demonstrates excellent stability during frying. It resists browning and maintains the necessary texture, which is critical for the fast-food segment and retail sector.

Who is this variety for?

«Ramos» is a tool for agricultural enterprises focused on long-term supply contracts. It requires patience, as it reaches its full potential only at the end of the season, but in return, it offers produce that stores perfectly until spring while maintaining industrial processing standards. If your business requires consistent raw material quality that retains its properties over months of storage, this variety will become a reliable pillar for your farm.
