“Chào mừng đến với Hà Lan!” Welcome to the Netherlands! This week, we were happy to welcome a Vietnamese delegation from the Lam Dong region. We were especially honoured to see some familiar faces among the delegates, as some had also visited us last month for the grand opening of our new trial station in Vietnam. Our discussions with the group focused on how innovative growing systems and improved vegetable varieties can help them achieve more predictable, stable harvests while advancing the growth of their business. We also talked about how Rijk Zwaan is supporting Vietnamese growers in their transformation from traditional to modern horticulture. The group showed great interest in our seed processing centre, where we ensure all seeds are thoroughly checked for quality before being delivered to our customers. #vegetablebreeding #partnership #innovation

Tijd om onze samenwerkingspartners te bedanken en in het zonnetje te zetten! #RijkZwaan100years Dichter en spokenwordartiest Derek Otte sprak tijdens ons partnerevenement op 3 oktober de volgende woorden: “In deze keten is, iedereen van betekenis; we hebben veel aan elkaar gehad. Zonder samenwerking werpt geen enkel proces uiteindelijk bruikbare vruchten af. Hier zorgt men al een eeuw voor morgen via zaden en zóveel meer… En de komende honderd jaar wil men dat eigenlijk weer. Blijven pionieren, op verschillende manieren dóór. Omdat we uiteindelijk met z’n allen verantwoordelijk zijn voor…. Voedselvoorziening, voedselzekerheid, in de wereld om ons heen. De tijd waarin we leven, hebben we van de generaties na ons te leen. Eerlijk eten mogelijk maken, een verantwoordelijkheid die we ondertussen dragen. Het liefst nog minstens tien decennia met jullie allemaal samen. Van letterlijk groeien, figuurlijk bloeien maken… Oprecht en duurzaam van hier naar daar. Veredelen, verdelen. Stoer doorgaan, met elkaar.” Bedankt voor jullie komst! #partnership
