Welcome to Scottish Borders Produce (SBP) Ltd

SBP is a well-established growers’ co-operative operating within the Scottish Borders and East Lothian. Set up in 1972 by five farmers growing a few hundred tonnes, we now have 103 farmer members and grow up to 13,000 tonnes of vining peas.

All our growers lie within 30 miles of the modern processing, cold storage and packing facilities at Eyemouth. This ensures that we freeze our crops within 150 minutes of harvest to lock in their natural quality and taste. We have historically matched or surpassed the standards of the market leaders with the majority of the vining pea crop attaining an AA grade classification.

At the freezer plant our peas are packed in own-brand packaging for UK customers and transported to their distribution centres, minimising the carbon footprint into the supermarket.

Over the last 45+ years, SBP has built a reputation for excellence. We invest in top class machinery and use the latest technology including GPS and telematics. These ensure accuracy, provide constant monitoring and comparable updates while also reducing soil compaction.

SBP employs a skilled and motivated harvesting team and uses a professional risk management service to ensure that the most rigorous Health and Safety practices are upheld. We also actively collaborate with research projects to play our part in developing innovation within the industry.
