‘A serious player in Brassica crops’ During Brassica Year 2008, Rijk Zwaan gave extra attention to Brassicas worldwide. And with great success. The crowds in the demo fields, the positive feedback afterwards and the high expectations for the future all indicate that when it comes to Brassica crops, Rijk Zwaan is now a serious player. With no less than 25 events in 22 countries, last year we put great effort in showing our assortment. A huge action but with a local approach, what made it possible to show the best assortment on every demo field, depending on the season. But there was more: expert advice, interesting lectures and appropriate buffets to exchange knowledge and experiences. In doing so we have generated a lot of enthusiasm with thousands of visitors. Continuous search We are pleased that we can really present ourselves as a Brassica com- pany now. In all Brassica segments we have varieties that perform well, where quality and crop characteristics are concerned. Looking at it internationally, we are covering an ever increasing share of the market and the search for top varieties continues unabated. After all, breeding is a continuous process and we are already growing a number of promising new varieties in trials.
