SEED VARIETY SHOWCASE
RIJK ZWAAN
USA AND CANADA
Innovation for a sustainable
future for growers and
consumers
Rijk Zwaan offers an extensive range of innovative
vegetable varieties that provide robust resistance
traits, with a focus on protecting resources through
sustainable practices to provide healthy and appealing
vegetables. We select and test varieties to ensure
suitability for growing in the U.S. and Canada.
The advantages of these resistant vegetable varieties
extend beyond agriculture fields and greenhouses. By
requiring fewer chemical interventions, our resistant
varieties contribute to the cultivation of healthier
plants, which provide more options for consumers
and promote reduction in food waste, higher yield and
better efficiencies.
Recent trials and plantings from our research facilities
in the U.S. and Canada have identified elite lines.
