BioSelect and Agrico
BioSelect is Agrico’s brand for our organically grown ware and seed potatoes. Under this brand, we bring leading sustainable and innovative varieties to the market that more than satisfy the standards set out for organic cultivation.
Our intensive breeding program at Agrico Research forms the basis for these strong innovative varieties.
