We recently hosted an engaging field day in Rajpura, Punjab, to introduce our latest innovation, the subtropical cauliflower variety Tirsuli RZ F1. This event brought together a large group of local farmers eager to experience firsthand the impressive performance of this new variety, designed specifically for subtropical climates.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our two groundbreaking mini cucumber hybrids, Princestar RZ and Herostar RZ, set to revolutionize the farming experience and significantly boost production for growers. These exceptional hybrids are the result of years of dedicated research and development, aimed at enhancing yield and quality.

We produce seeds ourselves at numerous Rijk Zwaan facilities. Additionally, we work together with third-party seed producers. Each year, we carry out Fair Labour audits of our external partners to ensure that these companies work to the same standards that we uphold for Rijk Zwaan employees.

Contributing to a healthy lifestyle is a key driver of the ambitious Indian nursery, Nutrifresh. One way they achieve this is by cultivating SN!BS snack vegetables.

We are thrilled to announce the latest member of our cauliflower portfolio: Tirsuli RZ F1 Cauliflower! Named after the iconic Himalayan Peak Tirsuli, this variety has been specifically developed for subtropical climates in India, representing a significant advancement in our cauliflower offerings.
