It was great for us to be in Harrogate earlier this week covering the Restrain2026 Conference for Beanstalk Global, spending time with members of the Restrain team from across the UK and the wider international business.
This year’s conference marked a genuinely significant moment for the global potato sector. A number of key developments were announced that look set to be ground-breaking for potato storage worldwide – practical innovation rooted in science, operational experience, and a deep understanding of grower and processor needs.
It was also encouraging to see Restrain’s continued investment in the sector, including the recent opening of a new UK headquarters. This represents a clear statement of intent and provides a strong platform to support growers, partners, and continued innovation well into the future.
After more than 20 years of pioneering excellence, Restrain continues to lead the way in ethylene-based crop storage solutions, helping growers protect crop quality through proven, residue-free sprout control. Its technologies have become a cornerstone of profitable, sustainable potato and onion storage, while also supporting seed potato performance and tomato ripening applications.
