The Seed Potato Organization (SPO) is distinct from AHDB Potatoes, as membership is based on voluntary subscriptions rather than a mandated levy. This approach allows the SPO to provide greater value for money and directly address the specific needs of the seed potato sector and its growers. For the SPO to fully achieve its objectives, a high level of participation from the community will be essential
