Surplus potatoes are distributed

Don't destroy the potatoes, eat them

The Saxon agricultural company was left sitting on the potato mountain after a good harvest. Many farmers had brought in a record harvest in 2025, said the managing director. "Our idea is not to destroy the produce, but to eat it together."

This is why Osterland Agrar Gesellschaft launched the distribution campaign together with the Berliner Morgenpost newspaper and the internet search engine Ecosia. The "Leipziger Volkszeitung" and the "Sächsische Zeitung" later joined in.

"With this campaign, we want to draw attention to agriculture and the fact that it never harvests as much as you have just ordered, but sometimes more, sometimes less. And we want to draw attention to the potato, which is a great local superfood," said von Massow.
