Kartoffelzucht Böhm GmbH & Co. KG is a German agricultural enterprise focused on potato breeding, seed potato production, agricultural research, and farming innovation. Founded as a potato breeding firm, the company has grown into a diversified agricultural corporation with operations in potato breeding, seed multiplication, agriculture, renewable energy, laboratory services, smart farming, and crop research.
Kartoffelzucht Böhm provides help to potato producers, agricultural enterprises, research organisations, and worldwide seed potato markets through its subsidiaries and strategic alliances. The company's expertise spans the whole value chain, from developing new potato types and producing certified seed potatoes to providing agricultural advice, digital farming solutions, and sustainable crop development. This comprehensive strategy has established the firm as a key player in Germany's potato breeding and agricultural innovation sectors.
Founded in 1900 by Ökonomierat Georg Friedrich Böhm II in Groß-Bieberau, Odenwald (Hesse), the firm started as a potato breeding operation to create better varieties and provide high-quality planting material. Following World War II, Kartoffelzucht Böhm re-established its breeding activities in western Germany before locating its headquarters in Lüneburg, Lower Saxony. The family-owned firm is currently shifting from fourth to fifth generation leadership.
Throughout its history, the firm has extended beyond conventional potato breeding to include agricultural production, renewable energy, soil analysis, and digital farming technologies, while keeping potato genetics and seed manufacturing as its primary industry.
