Our way of working
The first step in the process is to test the new variety and compare with existing varieties. Part of this testing is done at our testing location in Hazerswoude but also at different sites in Europe with different climatological circumstances. The potential new introductions are also tested in their ability to be produced commercially.
The next step is to protect the plant with plant variety rights and/or protection with a trademark in areas where the plant could be successful. After this the plant can be introduced to the market. We have a good and reliable network of partners and quality growers in Europe and North America to make the plant a commercial success. A very important part of this success is taking care of the right promotion and marketing but also conducting regular control actions in the market in order to prevent illegal growing and trading of the varieties.
We hope to welcome you as grower, breeder, press or retailer!
