Agristo

40 years of Agristo. 🎉 25 years of Agristo Tilburg. 💛 How did we celebrate this milestone in Tilburg? By drawing the next chapter of our story together. ✏️ Potatoholics from across the site came together to reflect on what makes Agristo Tilburg unique: what we're proud of, where we've come from and where we're heading together. Those conversations evolved into one shared ambition and, ultimately, into a large illustration that brings together 25 years of history and our dream for the future. During our anniversary celebration, we unveiled the final artwork: a visual story that captures who we are, where we've come from and where we're going together. 🍟💛 #Agristo #AgristoTilburg #Agristo40Years #AgristoTilburg25Years #EyesOnTheFuture

🎓 Annick's History Lesson #4 | 40Y of Agristo From a pigsty in Belgium to production sites across the globe. The final chapter of Annick's History Lessons takes us from recent milestones in India, France and the United States to something that has remained unchanged throughout our 40-year journey. Wherever we grow, we stay grounded. Our customers. Our farmers. Our Potatoholics. Together, they are at the heart of everything we do. As we celebrate 40Y of Agristo, this last lesson is both a look back at how far we've come and a reminder that our story is still being written. Thank you, Annick. 🎓🥔

🥔A major milestone for Agristo!🍟Earlier this week, we officially broke ground on our first U.S. production facility in Grand Forks, North Dakota, marking the start of an exciting new chapter in our international growth journey. 🌱Together with local leaders, partners, growers, and community members, we celebrated the beginning of a project that goes beyond building a factory. It's about creating long-term partnerships, supporting local communities, and investing in the future of potato excellence. A sincere thank you to everyone who has helped make this vision a reality. We're really proud to plant our roots in North Dakota and look forward to growing together.💛

🎓 Annick's History Lesson #3 | 40Y of Agristo A dream. An ambition. And a relentless drive to keep improving. We always set out to become one of the most innovative players in the world of frozen potato products. In 2017, that ambition took shape with two state-of-the-art production lines at our new headquarters in Wielsbeke. But innovation is about more than technology. It's also about people. As the next generation stepped forward, Agristo continued to grow while staying true to its family-business roots. By 2019, we reached 700,000 tonnes of finished product. Yet one thing remained unchanged: our belief that every potato deserves a purpose. The little ones, the wonky ones and everything in between. As we celebrate 40Y of Agristo, Annick takes us back to a chapter defined by innovation, growth and entrepreneurial spirit.

🎓 Annick's History Lesson #2 | 40Y of Agristo What do fertile soil, ambitious plans and a whole lot of passion have in common? They're all part of the next chapter in our story. After 2001, we expanded with new production sites in Belgium and the Netherlands. Millions of portions of potato goodness rolled off the production lines, but growth was never just about numbers. As Luc always said: passion and hard work matter. But enjoying the ride matters too. It's in that spirit that the Potatoholics were born: people who craft, taste and improve all things potato, while never forgetting to have some fun along the way. As we celebrate 40Y of Agristo, Annick takes us back to the moments that helped shape our culture and our growth.

Disease pressure, temperature, rainfall, soil conditions, and variety choice all interact throughout the season ... and the effect depends heavily on timing. A field can look healthy one week and face real pressure the next. That is why agronomy matters. We follow crop development closely and look beyond sunshine or rain alone to understand what really drives yield, sizing, and quality. In our latest blog, we take a closer look at: 🥔The impact of potato blight ☀️Why heat and drought do not affect every growth stage in the same way 🌧️How too much rain can create pressure before, during, and even after the season 💯What ideal growing conditions really look like 👉 Read the full article: https://bit.ly/4aX3ptC
