The industry is benefiting overall from the introduction of a more compressed seed supply chain.

Rapid seed multiplication as offered by the introduction of the TECHNITUBER® technology provides our customers with the following benefits:

• Rapid introduction of new and improved varieties.
   
• Less field multiplication with resulting quality improvements from less disease build up.
   
• Low transport costs for initial TECHNITUBER® seed product.
   
• Greater traceability of the seed product.
   
• Better control over the seed production chain.
   
• Quality seed production capability.
   
• A speedy establishment of potato supply chains for the emerging potato processing sector.
   
• The development of seed industries where one was not envisaged previously.
   
• An opportunity to replace expensive, imported seed with a locally-produced, limited field generation product.
   
• A reduction in the risk of introducing dangerous and undesirable soil diseases in imported seed.
   
• Savings in outgoing foreign exchange on an expensive imported product.
