Binst — Belgian seed potato specialists since 1920
From its roots in Grimbergen, Binst Breeding & Selection has built a family business around certified seed potatoes. It works with growers and breeders to select and produce varieties for different conditions and markets.
Four generations in seed potatoes
In 1920, Pieter Binst began trading seed potatoes in Belgium. Four generations of the family have since developed the business in Grimbergen. Today, Binst Breeding & Selection specialises in multiplying seed potatoes and works with its growers throughout the production season.
Choosing the right variety
Binst works with breeders in the Netherlands, Germany and Scotland to bring new varieties into its portfolio. Its range includes both freely marketed and licensed varieties for different growing conditions, harvest windows and uses, including fresh markets, fries and crisps. The seed potatoes are certified by the official inspection service.
From storage to delivery
Binst combines traceability with refrigerated storage, sorting and packing to prepare seed potatoes for domestic and export markets. Its Bioterra division focuses on organically grown seed potatoes and offers varieties selected for organic production.
