With the official Show Directory now live, visitors can begin planning their visit in detail. The online guide provides a comprehensive overview of all exhibitors, sponsors, and partners, presenting a full picture of the technologies, products, and services that are shaping the modern potato industry. From seed and breeding innovations to agronomic advice, machinery, storage solutions, and digital decision tools, BP2025 offers a 360-degree view of the sector’s ongoing transformation.

A Hub for Innovation and Progress

British Potato has built its reputation on being the event where innovation meets practice. Every edition showcases a broad spectrum of solutions aimed at improving efficiency, sustainability, and profitability along the entire potato chain. The 2025 edition is expected to feature hundreds of exhibitors representing all segments of the industry, reflecting the UK’s strong position as both a producer and exporter of potatoes, seed, and processed products.

Visitors can explore the latest in precision agriculture, digital monitoring, irrigation control, soil health, and post-harvest technology, while also discovering new approaches to integrated pest management, storage optimisation, and climate adaptation. Companies from across Europe will display machinery for planting, harvesting, and grading, while leading agribusinesses and research institutes will highlight new developments in variety breeding, sustainable nutrition, and disease resistance.

Seminars, Demonstrations, and Industry Insights

Alongside the exhibition, a packed seminar programme will offer visitors the opportunity to hear from experts, practitioners, and policymakers on topics that matter most to the future of the potato industry. Sessions will explore the impacts of climate change, regulatory developments, and market trends, as well as opportunities for growth through sustainability, innovation, and collaboration.

Live field and machinery demonstrations will once again be a major attraction, offering practical insights into how technology can improve yield, quality, and environmental performance. The British Potato team emphasises that knowledge transfer and learning remain key pillars of the event — helping farmers and supply chain partners take actionable steps towards a more resilient and competitive potato sector.

A Platform for Connection

More than just a trade show, BP2025 is a platform for connection and collaboration. It offers a unique chance for professionals to meet face-to-face, share experiences, and discuss future opportunities. Over the years, British Potato has become an essential fixture for the European potato community — not only a showcase of technology, but also a forum for dialogue between growers, processors, input suppliers, and scientists.

International visitors are expected from across Europe, as well as from North America and other key potato regions, reflecting the event’s growing global significance. The show continues to underline the UK’s strong role in the global potato industry, from genetics and breeding to equipment, storage, and processing expertise.
