Sante

The Golden Standard from Agrico

The «Sante» potato variety from the Dutch breeder Agrico has long been recognized as a benchmark for professional potato farming. Developed by Agrico, this variety has built a stellar reputation over the decades by combining robust agricultural performance with exceptional processing versatility. It remains a top choice for growers who prioritize reliability and consistency in their yields.

Agronomic Resilience

The true strength of «Sante» lies in its defensive profile. It offers comprehensive resistance to some of the most devastating potato pathogens, including golden potato cyst nematode, potato wart disease, and fusarium. Its strong resistance to common potato viruses, such as potato leafroll virus, along with its tolerance to common scab and late blight, makes it a resilient option for high-yield farming. This level of natural immunity allows producers to manage their crops with greater peace of mind and lower input requirements.

Processing and Industrial Potential

«Sante» is more than just a table potato; it is an industrial workhorse. With a dry matter content of 20–21%, it is perfectly suited for high-end processing applications, including French fries, potato chips, and dehydrated products. The tubers feature a consistent oval shape with shallow eyes, making them efficient for peeling and industrial processing. The light yellow flesh maintains its quality during storage, ensuring high performance even after extended periods in the warehouse.

• Maturity: 65–75 days.
• Primary Uses: Long-term storage, French fries, potato chips, and dry processing.
• Origin: Agrico, Netherlands.

Choosing «Sante» means investing in a variety with a proven track record. Its balance of disease resistance, storage stability, and processing suitability makes it a staple for any serious potato production operation looking for predictable, high-quality results.
