[LOGISTICS NEWS] We are in the middle of the spring delivery campaign. The challenge: to deliver around 40,000 tonnes of seed potatoes to France and northern Europe in 4 weeks. The challenge was made all the more difficult by the fact that Easter was in the middle of this period this year (4-day week and a scarcity of lorries). About 30,000 tons have already been shipped.

[NEWS COVID-19] In France, the containment we were forced to use has been lifted, but we remain cautious, as the Germicopa teams have been for the last 58 days. In spite of the countless difficulties in staying within the right timing of seed potato deliveries and the establishment of the trial fields, all the employees and partners (producers, transporters, customers) of our company have mobilised and have brilliantly met all the challenges! We can legitimately take great pride in this and thank everyone for their involvement!
