KPL currently grows approximately 2,500 hectares of vegetable and salad crops across Scotland. The main crop production areas are in Fife, Lothians, Perthshire and Angus but early and late crops are also grown in south west Scotland and Aberdeenshire. Our farmers are highly skilled professionals with generations of farming experience who farm some of the best arable land in Scotland.
