High quality Seeds, dedicated support

Hort Connections 2025 is just around the corner, and the Rijk Zwaan Australia team is looking forward to being part of it.

As a family-owned vegetable seed company, Rijk Zwaan is proud to partner with Australian growers in building a sustainable, productive future for the horticulture industry.

Our research, your results

Breeding a new vegetable variety takes between 6 and 16 years of dedicated research and development. At Rijk Zwaan, we continuously think ahead – so growers can access varieties that are ready for the challenges of today and tomorrow. This future-focused approach is delivering practical results:

  • Higher yields
  • Lower input requirements
  • Stronger disease resistances
  • Labour efficiencies
  • Extended shelf life

Join us at Hort Connections

We invite you to visit us at Hort Connections Booth 416 to learn more about our innovations, including:

Knox: For lettuce with longer shelf life
A trait that delays oxidation pinking in fresh cut lettuce, helping reduce waste and extend shelf life for processors, retailers, and consumers.

Salanova: Premium salad leaves
High-yielding, one-cut-ready lettuce that meets market demand for convenience, labour efficiency and visual appeal - adding extra dimension to the pre-made salad segment.

ToBRFV - resistant tomato varieties
Supporting growers with strong, effective resistance to Tomato brown rugose fruit virus, helping protect the industry while delivering high-quality, great tasting produce.

Blue Leaf: Longer cucumber production
Rijk Zwaan's Blue Leaf cucumber range have an extended growing season. Stronger, healthier plants remain productive thanks to increased levels of chloropyll.

Crunchy cos: The best of cos and iceberg together
A versatile crop that combines the crisp texture of iceberg with the sweet flavor and elongated leaves of cos to meet diverse market demands.

High-quality seeds, dedicated support

We take pride in the quality of what we produce – high-performing seeds that set the foundation for a successful crop. This is backed by a local team offering regional knowledge, on-farm support and advice to help growers select the right varieties for their conditions.

Rijk Zwaan’s Australian representatives will be at Hort Connections and are available to discuss your crop planning for the season ahead.

Come visit us at Booth 416 or contact your local rep to arrange a time to chat.
