Kockens’ organic range is now available in selected well-stocked ICA stores across Sweden. The range offers organic spices for consumers who want to make more conscious everyday choices while still enjoying the taste and quality that characterize Kockens products.

With clear information about origin and relevant certifications, Kockens offers an organic range that combines quality, great taste and care.

By expanding availability to more ICA stores, Kockens is making it easier for consumers to choose organic options when cooking at home.“We are seeing strong interest in organic products, so we are very pleased that our organic range is now available in selected ICA stores.

Organic Spices for Flavourful Cooking

Kockens’ organic range includes a selection of popular spices suitable for both everyday cooking and more creative dishes. The range makes it easy to choose organic without compromising on taste, quality or versatility.

Our spices should bring something good to both the food and the soul – that is the best recipe, in our view.

From September 16–18, Lyckeby will be at Food Ingredients Asia in Jakarta – an important meeting place for the food industry and a great opportunity to connect with customers, partners, and industry professionals from around the world.

The team will be there to tell you more about high-quality potato starch and how our solutions can enhance your food innovations.

Visit Lyckeby at booth #C3T45, exchange ideas and explore new opportunities together.

We are pleased to announce our new partnership with Fi Dubai International, which will become Lyckeby’s distributor in the GCC markets. This collaboration marks an important step in strengthening Lyckeby’s presence in the region. By combining Lyckeby’s long-standing expertise in starch and application knowledge with Fi Dubai International’s market insight, we see great opportunities ahead.

Together, we look forward to driving innovation, creating new business opportunities and building a successful partnership.

We are delighted to share that the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission has reached an agreement on new genomic technologies (NGT) – a significant milestone for European agriculture and for Lyckeby. This legislation enables us to utilize Crispr/ Cas9 technology to enhance crop resilience, reduce chemical usage and secure sustainable production for generations to come.

Potato starch is a key ingredient in products ranging from food and dairy to paper and packaging. Until now, a large share of the million tonnes of starch produced globally each year has required chemical modification to meet industrial requirements. The CRISPR/ cas9 technology enable us to reduce both chemical usage and energy consumption. Following this recent political agreement, we are now able to introduce our CRISPR-edited potato, developed in close collaboration with SolEdits.

Together with SolEdits, we have developed a novel “storage stable starch” using a unique CRISPR-based breeding process. By making a few precise genome edits in the potato genome, SolEdits eliminated starch components that previously required chemical treatment. The result is in an optimized starch containing only short-chain amylopectin starch which provides an excellent storage stability without the need of chemical modification of the starch.

Impact at scale:

– Thousands of tonnes of chemicals saved annually in Sweden alone

– A natural, “green-label” starchImproved product quality and shelf life

– Added value for the 600 members of the Lyckeby Group Economic Association – of whom about 440 are active potato growers

For Mathias Samuelsson, Sales Director and Kalle Johansson, Development Manager at Lyckeby, who have been part of this project for many years, this agreement marks a major achievement:

“A modern legislation for plant breeding that enables the safe use of Crispr/Cas9 is very welcome. Now agriculture within the EU will be able to reach the climate goals and for our part it means strengthened competitiveness and that we can reach our sustainability goals.”

– Mathias Samuelsson, Sales Director, Lyckeby 

“This is a milestone for European agriculture and production. After nearly eight years of field trials and multiplication, we are now ready to bring the first Category 1 NGT potato to market.”

– Kalle Johansson, Development Manager, Lyckeby

We will now be able to grow a naturally storage-stable starch, where modifications that were previously carried out during industrial processing can now be achieved directly in the potato field. This allows us to produce highly functional starches while significantly reducing the use of chemicals – representing a major step forward in achieving our sustainability objective of developing the green starch factory.

About SolEdits

SolEdits is a Swedish agtech/deeptech company pioneering precision breeding with CRISPR to create more sustainable, healthy and resilient potato varieties. Founded as a spin-off from SLU, SolEdits partners with leading breeders, food producers and starch manufacturers to reduce chemical use, improve crop robustness and enhance food quality.

In connection with the launch of Lyckeby Group’s new brand platform, the company’s board has decided to unite the entire group under a shared name. As part of this change, the legal name has been changed from Sveriges Stärkelseproducenter förening u.p.a. to Lyckeby Group Economic Association. The name in Swedish is Lyckeby Group ek. för.

On June 2, the Swedish Companies Registration Office (Bolagsverket) announced that the name change has been approved and formally registered.

The new platform represents our ambition to build on our heritage and at the same time drive development forward. Our brand must reflect both our history and our desire to meet the needs and expectations of the future.

“By clarifying and strengthening our common identity, we create a solid foundation that gives us the opportunity to grow, develop and continue to be a reliable partner for our customers and cultivators. I want to say a big thank you to everyone involved in the work on our new brand platform and to all employees for your commitment and for being part of this journey.”
– Hans Holmstedt, CEO and Group CEO

Our new visual identity will be rolled out gradually over the next few months and we look forward to launching our new websites for Lyckeby and Culinar after the turn of the year.
