Advantages of hybrid breeding
Our non-GMO breeding technology makes breeding a new variety much faster than ever before. Hybrid breeding delivers a predictable and continuous flow of improved products, while historically traditional potato breeding has made limited advancement. Our targeted breeding technology allows us to cross-breed for new varieties that have enhanced pest and disease resistances and that are adapted to harsher climates, making potatoes a suitable crop for multiple climates zones. Other characteristics, such as taste, color, texture, cooking time and more can be quickly adjusted to meet changing consumer demands.
