Decock Plants

Decock Plants, a Belgian firm founded in 1987, specializes in the manufacture of young plants. While they specialize in Pelargonium, bedding plants, Dipladenia, herbs, and Lavandula, they have also ventured into the sweet potato market. The company provides rooted cuttings of Ipomoea batatas 'Beauregard', also known as sweet potato.

These top cuttings are grown in Ethiopia under MPS conditions and then rooted in Belgium, resulting in high-quality propagation material. This strategy has been demonstrated to boost yields by about 15%, improve uniformity, and reduce the number of undersized, large, or malformed tubers. Decock Plants' strategy is to increase efficiency in both the planting and harvesting operations, resulting in more sustainable and cost-effective sweet potato production.
