ORGANISED by the Potato Council and sponsored by Branston, BP2009 brings together machinery dealers, seed breeders, retailers, merchants, processors, research authorities, agronomy and field-staff specialists, growers and other industry representatives.
”For those with a serious interest in potatoes BP2009 is not so much a day out from your business as an integral part of it,” says Potato Council head of communications, Rob Clayton.
At the heart of the event, inside the entrance to Hall Two, will be the Potato Council stand. “Whether it’s market information, levy-funded research, seed and export news, storage tips or consumer trends you’re after, all of us have been working hard to ensure a wealth of resources will be available on the stand.”
The Potato Council technical seminars, in the centre of the stand, bring the latest research-related news and developments.
