About us
The family-owned Agrico Bohemia, s.r.o. was founded by Ing. František Vavřina in 1999.
The family has been growing potatoes in the Vysočina region for four generations. Thanks to a wealth of experience and superior quality of their products, Agrico Bohemia stands as one of the most prestigious breeding companies in the Czech Republic. Within the country, it is the only representative of one of the world’s largest and best-known potato breeding and growing businesses, the Dutch Agrico company. It further represents the Austrian based company NÖS.
Short after its successful foundation, it had become clear that Agrico Bohemia needed to expand its activities beyond distribution and increasing its harvest capacity. Therefore, the company took a step further and now provides its customers with comprehensive service.

Short after its successful foundation, it had become clear that Agrico Bohemia needed to expand its activities beyond distribution and increasing its harvest capacity. Therefore, the company took a step further and now provides its customers with comprehensive service.
The company hired experienced agronomists, who in close cooperation with the farmers managed to expand production capacities of potatoes, onions and select root vegetables on a national scale. To facilitate distribution, the company opened a designated packaging centre in Salačova Lhota near Pacov. It is equipped with an internationally certified packaging machine of the highest technological standard, which comes with robotic and optical sorting mechanisms, modern packaging system and a polisher. This ensures easy and precise operation at the annual capacity of 30 000 to 35 000 tons. To provide the market with its full assortment year-round, Agrico Bohemia imports top-quality crops from the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Italy, France, Spain, Israel and Egypt. It also includes unique potato breeds by the Dutch AGRICO company in its offer.
Offer
AGRICO Bohemia, s.r.o. supplies ware potatoes of high quality and rich flavour. To ensure year-round availability of its products, it works with farmers in the Czech Republic and abroad. The highest standard of the crops is secured by direct delivery from select farmers.
The company offers comprehensive services to its customers. Potatoes are packed after being brushed and washed by house-owned machines and can also be delivered peeled and boiled in vacuum-packed units.All products are held to strict control standards so that the customers only receive the best of the crop. AGRICO Bohemia, s.r.o. produces three varieties of potatoes labelled as A, B and C based on their boiling properties. These varieties are available in unique breeds by the Dutch company AGRICO.
Variety A
Variety A potatoes are solid and firm. They have an elongated shape and waxy meat that is yellow in colour. They have a lower content of starch, which allows them to remain firm and consistent even through longer boiling times. Their properties make these potatoes suitable for salads, for boiling without removing skin or as a side dish.Variety B
These potatoes are semi-firm and contain more starch compared to the A variety. The meat structure is finer which makes these potatoes perfect as a side, for roasting, or in gravies and soups. Their properties make them popular for their wide range of uses.Variety C
These potatoes are the flouriest and they break relatively easily during the boil. This is due to a high starch content, which makes them perfect for fried potato pancakes and potato mash. The starch also works as a binding agent making them the perfect ingredient for potato dough.
Most of the onion that AGRICO Bohemia offers comes from Czech farmers. Year-round supply is then guaranteed with crops from Germany, Austria and France. The customer may choose from a range of yellow and red onions in their early- and late-harvested varieties.Thanks to a company-owned packing line, the onions are sold washed in units by varieties and sizes, according to the customer’s wishes.
The company’s extensive portfolio of products also includes root vegetables, specifically carrots, celery and parsley root. All crops are grown by farmers in the Czech Republic who clean and neatly pack them in creates prior to delivery. This allows the deliveries to be custom sized to order and reduces the amount of used packaging.
