Rijk Zwaan is a plant breeding company. We develop new vegetable varieties and sell the seeds produced from them all over the world. We tap into the rich diversity nature offers us, and combine it with our extensive market knowledge and state-of-the-art techniques.
At Rijk Zwaan, we develop varieties with improved benefits, or ‘traits’, for the entire fresh produce chain. We do so by continuously developing new crossings and selecting the best offspring from them. High-tech research ensures that we work in an increasingly targeted and efficient manner.
Vegetable seeds are a natural product. They must be produced under the ideal conditions and undergo extensive quality checks. We work in accordance with strict standards and careful plans to ensure that we can supply the required seeds on time.
Our involvement does not end when we sell our seeds. We help our customers to get the best out of our varieties and we maintain close contact with the entire fresh produce chain, working together to provide consumers with tasty and healthy vegetables.
