PotatoWorld magazine: the #1 source of potato information
On 20 September 2020, it will be one hundred years ago that the first boat carrying potatoes from trader and exporter Kees Meijer senior was loaded. A century later, through internationalisation and diversification, his trading company has evolved into a modern potato breeding company, based in Rilland. This is where Erika den Daas (55), as director has been in charge for almost three years now.
