Bio-Kartoffel-Erzeuger e.V.: Healthy, organic, good for the climate - Home-grown organic potatoes all year round
Bio-Kartoffel-Erzeuger e.V., a group representing 240 nationwide farms specializing in organic potato and onion cultivation, can supply sufficient domestic produce for food retailers year-round. Despite challenges like high energy costs, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and rising inflation, the association ensures a continuous supply of organic potatoes, avoiding ecologically questionable imports.
All parties benefit from this effort: farms and packing houses strengthen long-standing relationships, and consumers have access to healthy, affordable, organic staple foods throughout the year. However, the farmers see increasing production and storage costs as challenges for the coming season. To achieve the 30% organic goal, collaboration across the entire value chain and the further development of sales channels are essential.
