Cygnet PB also has a dedicated breeding team with over 25 years experience based in our complex at the Cambridge University farm. We produce 48,000 new breeding lines in our greenhouses each year that are then grown once and assessed on selected land in Scotland. This process of multiplication and selection continues over the 15 years it takes for a new variety to be developed until successful application and award of Plant Breeders Rights. It's a time consuming, costly and highly specialised area of potato production.
