Agrico, Nedato and Leo de Kock are pleased to announce the name of the new independent cooperative for conventional consumption potatoes: ‘PotatoNext‘.
This joint cooperative marks an important milestone in the potato industry and will be the result of close collaboration between the three reputable companies, Leo de Kock, an Agrico company, says in a press release.
With the new name, a new logo and a new corporate identity are also introduced. The wordmark and tagline complement the logo and contribute to the identity of the new joint brand.
The new logo symbolizes the entire process of the potato, from planting in the ground to being served on the consumer’s plate. Each stage of this process has contributed to the choice of specific colors that represent this brand. The color palette reflects the versatility and natural origin of the potatoes.
The logo depicts an infinity sign, which symbolizes cooperation and interconnectedness among other things. The fresh look reflects the modern approach and dedication to quality.
