Rosagold

Dutch breeding for reliable yields

Rosagold, a variety developed by the Dutch company Agrico, stands as a hallmark of table potato production. It has earned the trust of commercial growers due to its consistent performance and high adaptability across various growing conditions. Originating from rigorous European selection, this variety is designed for farmers who prioritize high-quality marketable tubers.

Agronomic performance and resistance

With a maturity cycle of 65–75 days, Rosagold sits firmly in the mid-early segment, allowing growers to manage harvest schedules effectively. One of the primary reasons for its market success is its robust resistance profile, which minimizes the need for chemical treatments:

• Resistant to Potato Cyst Nematode (Golden Nematode).
• Immune to Potato Wart disease.
• High tolerance to late blight and common scab.

Visually, Rosagold excels in the retail sector. The tubers are uniform and oval, featuring a smooth red skin and shallow eyes, which simplifies cleaning and packing processes. The yellow flesh contains 14–15% starch, offering an excellent culinary texture that holds its shape during cooking, making it a versatile favorite for boiling, frying, and salads.

Market positioning

With a tuber weight range of 50–130 grams, Rosagold is perfectly suited for the demands of supermarkets and the HoReCa industry. Its combination of aesthetic appeal and storability makes it a practical choice for large-scale production. Agrico’s focus on long-term health and uniformity ensures that Rosagold remains a top-performing choice for those seeking the perfect balance between early market maturity and superior table quality.
