Last week marked the start of the 2025 potato starch campaign at Aebe. Over the coming months, potatoes will be delivered six days a week to Royal Avebe’s factories

This week, the first potatoes will arrive for Royal Avebe's potato campaign. The potatoes from Avebe's farmer members will be processed into potato starch and potato protein.

Dutch Potato Starch manufacturer Royal Avebe just processed the last potatoes of the 2023-2024 campaign at the Ter Apelkanaal production location.

Royal Avebe will continue to purchase two million kilowatt hours of fossil-free biomethane at its German plant in Lüchow in 2024.

Every site of Royal Avebe has its own Human Resources challenges. This includes the Avebe Kartoffelstärkefabrik Prignitz/Wendland (KPW) sites in Germany. The relatively high average age of the staff creates capacity challenges for the future.

Potato starch manufacturer Avebe is looking to expand its growing area in Germany. Avebe Germany account managers Ulrike Ziervogel and Hauke Warnecke explain the ambitions and how the company intends to realise them.
