Safe Haven Scheme

WCF-Phoenix is the only seed potato pre-packer offering the benefits of the Safe Haven Certification Scheme to our customers.

The Safe Haven Scheme offers major advantages for producers, retailers and consumers by helping to eliminate notifiable, non-indigenous diseases & pests and the repercussions these devastating diseases can have on participating British businesses.

Strict, independent audits are conducted on all scheme members to ensure stringent production and hygiene standards are realised and maintained. Safe Haven Scheme participants are only permitted to use seed potatoes produced within the Safe Haven Scheme. All our seed potatoes are sourced solely from Safe Haven members.

Soil Association

The Soil Association believes in the connection between soil, food, the health of people and the health of the planet and campaigns for planet-friendly food and farming.

WCF Phoenix has been registered with the Soil Association for numerous years, and is audited every year to ensure standards of production and hygiene on organic seed potatoes are maintained.

WCF-Phoenix is the only seed potato pre-packer offering the benefits of Soil Association membership.

British Potato Trade Association

Most seed potatoes traded in Great Britain for both the home and export markets are handled by BPTA members. The BPTA covers all aspects of potato production and sales, both at home and for export markets. The most significant feature of the BPTA is its strength and influence in negotiations with governing bodies including the Government, The Potato Council, National Farmers Unions and Europe.
