AVEBE U.A

About us

In 1919, a group of Dutch farmers realised that there was more to the potatoes they were growing. Instead of selling their crops themselves, they started a cooperative to find buyers for the starch. That cooperative was Avebe and the starch was the first of a range of products they derived from potatoes.

Today, we are more than 2,000 members strong, and feature a team of 1,300 professionals working with customers around the world, sharing the vision of a healthier and more sustainable future. Many of the things we’re working on seemed impossible to our founders – but we like to think they’d still recognise the way we go about making them happen. We’re still a cooperative. We’re still only using the potato. And we’re still doing it together.

In 2019, we received the honorary Royal Warrant of the Netherlands: a recognition of our conviction that our members, employees, customers and society alike all benefit from our work.

We are accelerating the transition to more plant-based. By creating distinctive value for our members, employees, customers and society. The starch potato is our foundation. From sand to customer, we provide a sustainable, transparent chain with our innovative solutions.
