Breeding top varieties
The main focus of Rijk Zwaan is on breeding top vegetable varieties. Expectations regarding the performance and quality of vegetables are continuously increasing. In order to meet these expectations, Rijk Zwaan invests heavily in research and development. For instance, we have six breeding stations: two in Holland, combined with a highly specified biotech lab, and one in Germany, Spain, France and Turkey.
750 varieties, 25 crops
This leads to top varieties with high yields, extensive disease resistance, outstanding quality and a good flavour. We have about 750 top quality varieties of more than 25 different vegetable crops. Every year we refresh these varieties with about 150 new ones. But we go further and offer our relations our services such as growing advice, chain management and point-of-sale checks.
