Rijkzwaan

Rijk Zwaan is an international family company with a people-oriented culture. 

Rijk Zwaan is right at the start of the food chain. We develop vegetable varieties and sell the seeds produced from them globally to growers and other chain partners. From our strategic position we contribute to the world food supply. Everything we do is about healthy growth. The growth of natural and healthy products that we export around the world. The growth of our company, which currently employs over 3,800 people in more than 30 countries. And above all the growth of our people: we give you every opportunity to use your own initiative and achieve your full potential. 

At Rijk Zwaan, we develop varieties with improved benefits, or ‘traits’, for the entire fresh produce chain. We do so by continuously developing new crossings and selecting the best offspring from them. High-tech research ensures that we work in an increasingly targeted and efficient manner.

Our involvement does not end when we sell our seeds. We help our customers to get the best out of our varieties and we maintain close contact with the entire fresh produce chain, working together to provide consumers with tasty and healthy vegetables.

The company's primary objective is to offer our employees an enjoyable and lasting job with good terms of employment. This primary objective forms the basis from which our colleagues in close collaboration with our partners contribute to a healthy future.
