Grampian Growers asked us to breed a salad variety to out perform Maris Peer. We are proud to have used our expertise to breed Gemson and proud that it has become a commercial success for British farmers.” VANESSA YOUNG, POTATO BREEDER “Here in Angus we have the perfect conditions to grow quality, clean seed potatoes. We are proud to grow high health Gemson seed potatoes for Grampian Growers customers. We work under a strict, Government, inspection regime to ensure quality at every stage.” MATHEW STEEL, SEED GROWER “Gemson gives us 10-20% more tubers than Maris Peer and as a consequence gives us really great returns to growers. Gemson potatoes have great skin finish and store well to meet the quality demands of our retail customers and the consumer. The key to this success is reliable quality Gemson seed from Grampian Growers.” STEPHEN MATHIAS, GROWER AND PACKER
