Meet our grower Mr. José Antonio Andreu
15-06-2017
This month our Argentinian grower, mr. José Antonio Andreu, shares his story.
Mr. Andreu is raised in a hard working family. Working prevailed over anything else. In the 60's they had to do all chores manually and they faced a lot of challenges. Fortunately, during the 80's the family business started to grow rapidly. The family currently plants 800 hectares of potatoes.

Each month we share the story of one of our colleagues or partners in order to link Potato People around the world. Want to learn more? Read this article.
We had to work really very, very hard and working prevailed over anything else.
