The name Plantera is derived from the word 'planter': working close to the soil and the product. The lines of communication with our growers and customers are short and direct, decisions are made close to the source.

Plantera is a company specialised in the breeding, production and sale of (seed) potatoes. From their passion for seed potatoes, Plantera was founded by Gerard Bovée and Jeroen van Soesbergen in 2014. They have a lot of experience, both in breeding, production, logistics and sales. Currently, Gerard and Jeroen are being supported by a team of four, working from the office in Marknesse and the breeding station in Wieringerwerf.

Plantera has an area of approximately 360 ha. under cultivation in Northwest Europe, of which 85% is grown in the Netherlands by experienced growers. A major part is organically grown and marketed.

The market for potatoes is divided into the following segments: fresh, fries, crisps, peeled and specialties. Plantera has its own varieties for all these segments to make sure we can provide our customers with a complete range and to ensure the continuity of the company. Besides these specially bred varieties, we can also supply seed potatoes of released 'free' varieties. You can find a list of these on our website.
