During the fair the halls and surrounding area were filled with interested parties from the entire international potato sector. Everyone from seeding exhibitors to packaging suppliers presented themselves. Outside, various harvesting demonstrations were given. The theme 'The Next Level' could be found in many aspects of the fair. For instance, 'the next level innovation award'. HZPC, first prize winner, was awarded the golden award by the Dutch minister of Agriculture, Dijksma. HZPC presented the 'potato shelf of the future', an innovative way of presenting potatoes in the shop. The second prize went to HLB and Restrain came third this year.

Loogman en Zn., speaks of two busy days, particularly the first day. "It was beyond our expectations for a first time."
