Seed potato growers are having to make serious decisions on what and how much to plant for the coming season
Although discussions are continuing between the UK and the EU on equivalence measures for seed potatoes it is very unlikely that any Scottish seed potatoes will be exported into Europe this season. Growers are having to make serious decisions on what and how much to plant for the coming season.
Scottish growers exported around 20,000 tonnes of seed potatoes for a value of £4.5 - £5 million before they were excluded from the free-trade list on 1st January 2021.
