Potatoes

For more than 30 years Westhoeve Potatoes supply fresh potatoes worldwide. By working closely with a large number of local farmers, we are always assured of high quality and fresh ware potatoes. As we are also running a farming business where we grow and store our own potatoes we are able to respond to the market’s needs and demands more efficiently. If we anticipate a disappointing yield we can already start negotiations to buy potatoes from neighbouring countries to eradicate any shortfalls. Westhoeve Potatoes has a collaboration with farmers in The Netherlands, Belgium, France, United Kingdom and Germany.
