Brazil

Enza Zaden has announced the broadening of its Brazilian activities with the opening of a new operation, Enza Zaden Brazil, which is located in the vegetable growing region of Holambra, São Paulo.

While the group will have a major focus on commercial activities, it also intends to increase activities in the development of vegetables suitable for cultivation under tropical conditions, Enza Zaden revealed.

'This new venture is expected to contribute substantially to the further development of the Enza Zaden brand and products in the ever-growing Brazilian market,' the group said in a statement.

'Enza Zaden's long-term relationship with Agristar de Brasil, a major distributor of vegetable seeds throughout Brazil, will remain unaffected as the distributor will continue to market its present product line.'
