We see innovation in broccoli is a joint effort. Together with growers, processors and technology partners, we develop varieties designed for efficient harvesting and consistent performance.

Behind every strong brassica variety is a long-term vision and a rigorous selection process. Our breeding teams think years ahead of market and climate shifts and focus on traits with real-world value. From machine-harvest potential and portion-ready heads to resistance against key diseases, every innovation is tested in challenging conditions and refined together with growers and partners worldwide. The result is simple: brassicas that prove themselves in practice, not just in trials.

Cauliflower is a demanding crop with high expectations from field to market. We develop varieties that help you manage risk while creating room for diversification and value. Our breeding focuses on performance across the chain, from resilience under climate pressure and targeted disease resistance to uniformity, colours and processing solutions.
