The Belgian potato processing company Agristo is coming to the city of Grand Forks in a move that was announced Friday morning.
The company said it plans for approximately 300 to 350 jobs being created by the facility in Grand Forks, with a 2025 groundbreaking with the facility being operational in 2028. Agristo had been in contact with local potato growers to trial European potato varieties and has been in site conversations at various locations throughout the Midwest.
Governor Kelly Armstrong says the move will improve profitability for the region’s farmers and strengthen the state’s economy.
