Seed Exports
Overseas Events
Potato Council's seed and export team work to support GB's seed export industry.
One way we do this is to present our seed and export messages to our existing and prospective markets at key overseas trade events. Our stands provide information and advice to industry contacts on the high quality and high health benefits of seed from Great Britain.
Our aim at these events is to maintain and build on the excellent reputation that seed from Great Britain has, and to provide a live platform from which our industry can network with existing and new contacts worldwide to help increase demand for British seed.
Here are some details about the events we currently participate in:
This is where Potato Council present a seed and export-focused stand at this major fresh produce event in Berlin. Over 55,000 visitors and 2,000 exhibitors attend from the worldwide fresh produce industry. This is a huge event and still growing - and the potato content is creating more interest each year.

Key info
Potato Europe rotates each year around four countries: The Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and France. The 2011 event was held in Tournai, Belgium, where we were able to host 10 seed export focused organisations on our 'new-look' stand.
Potato Europe is a key industry event for our seed and export sector, and we typically present a large stand promoting generic seed, seed health and variety information. Furthermore, this stand is where our seed and export industry co-exhibit with us under their own branding, in order to promote their own varieties to the visitors at this popular, and growing, event.
Although this is a European event, visitors come from far and wide, from countries such as Syria, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Turkey, Lebanon, and many, many more. It's reputation is growing and it is now seen as a 'must attend' event for the potato sector.
Read an article in 'Pomme de Terre' magazine about our presence at the event in 2011 (article is in French).
