During the Potatoes SA Congress, The Van Loveren flood wines were auctioned off as part of a broader focus on the impact of climate change.

R200,000 was raised through the auction and plowed back into Van Loveren to support the community and staff members affected by the floods. ๐Ÿฅ” ๐Ÿท

Yesterday, our CEO Willie Jacobs and CFO Johan van Deventer delivered the funds raised to Van Loveren.

Thank you South Africa Wine and WinField United SA for your support and to the broader potato industry for coming together to support the wine industry.

- For the egg topping, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and stir well.

- Pre-heat the oven to 180ยฐC

- Hollow out each potato by removing about 3 Tbsp of flesh. (Reserve the potato for mashed potato for your next meal or even try our amazing magic mashed potato cake!)

- Place 3 Tbsp of the bobotie mince in each potato and flatten slightly.

- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and pour just enough custard inside each to fill it almost to the top.

- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the custard is set. Note: The custard might run over slightly as it bakes.

A premium variety with very yellow flesh and a floury texture, Challenger was made for golden, crispy French fries.

Introduced in 2011 and originating from the Netherlands, this cultivar is heavily utilised in both the food-processing industry and the fresh produce market. Its consistent quality and reliable performance make it a favourite from farm to fryer.

This Women's Month, we celebrate Carmen Mc Farlane, who joined the potato industry four years ago alongside her husband Rob.

Carmenโ€™s greatest reward is knowing that she plays a part in feeding a nation. There's something deeply meaningful about watching food travel from the soil to the table, nourishing families across South Africa.

She also wants consumers to understand just how powerful a single potato can be, and not just in the kitchen, but in the lives of others. She explains that a single potato creates jobs for 6 to 7 people. That's impact. That's opportunity.

If nematodes are the problem, Allison is the solution.

This high-yielding Dutch-born cultivar (introduced in 2006) brings together resilience and reliability. With its clean cream skin and creamy white-yellow flesh, Allison delivers a waxy-floury texture that's perfect for stews and slow-cooked dishes.

A regular tuber shape and strong field performance make it a trusted choice for farmers โ€“ and a delicious one for any kitchen.
