Welcome to the seeds and services of Rijk

Dear customer,

Rijk Zwaan specialises in breeding, production and sales of vegetable seed for the
professional growers market worldwide. We are among the top 10 largest vegetable
breeding companies in the world.

Rijk Zwaan has become a global player. With customers in around 120 countries, our
company is gaining worldwide knowledge of, and experience in the world’s most important
vegetable markets.

Scale increase, ever improving cultivation techniques, rising prosperity and changes in
demand and taste make vegetable production and trade increasingly challenging and a more
global activity.

In order to spread our knowledge and experience, Rijk Zwaan has established international
product and chain teams. These international teams frequently offer specific added value to
our customers active in various countries, such as internationally-operating growers’
organisations, supermarket chains and vegetable processors.

The company’s primary focus is creating new vegetable varieties. Our range of varieties is
renewed and improved year after year. Rijk Zwaan has several breeding stations. They are
situated under different climate zones which enables us to select under temperate,
continental, subtropical and Mediterranean conditions.

Thorough fundamental genetic research is, nowadays, the crucial basis for fast and
innovating breeding work. This is why Rijk Zwaan has its own laboratories and research centres
where a dedicated team of plant scientists are working in the field of molecular biology, cell
biology, quantitative genetics, biochemistry, seed technology and phytopathology.

Rijk Zwaan has the ambition to add a diversity of flavours, colours, health and convenience
traits in our new range, translating these to the wishes and needs of the consumers of different
cultures, different taste and new trends.
This will make eating vegetables fun, delicious and healthy.

With our Seeds & Services, growers, vegetable processors and merchants are able to develop
new possibilities for using vegetables which are perfectly tailored to today’s market demands,
anywhere in the world.

Looking forward to meeting you,
