Potatoes are our DNA
Danespo is one of Northern Europe’s leading companies within breeding, production, and sales of high-quality potatoes.
Danespo is a plant breeding company. We develop robust potato plants for a future everyday life where we will experience more extreme weather conditions and thus more difficult growing conditions for our plants.
Our potato varieties are becoming more and more efficient and must feed an increasing world population in a future where agricultural areas are simultaneously reduced, and the areas are increasingly used for energy production, natural urbanisation, forests etc.
Potatoes are probably the most efficient plant for human nutrition and it is also one of the best plants when we measure the CO2 impact on our food.
Vision
We aim at ranking among the global leaders of potato breeding, delivering value to growers, processors and consumers thanks to varieties in all market segments, adapted to climate related challenges and consumption trends.
Mission
We turn breeding innovations and diversified genetic resources into improved varieties, focusing on productivity and quality in a changing environment, as well as on carbon footprint reduction.
We make those varieties accessible globally by delivering high quality seeds or by developing them under license.
We support our growers and customers in the development of our varieties with technical and promotional expertise.
