Vegetable breeder Rijk Zwaan will officially open Rijk Zwaan Promex SA de CV, a new location in Mexico, next month.
Seed of tomatoes and other glasshouse edibles will be produced at the modern glasshouse sit in San Jose Iturbide in the state of Guanajuato.
The three hectare site enjoys a near perfect climate for seed growing at an altitude of 2000 metres above sea level.
In a statement, the company said: “The production of these seeds takes place with the most stringent hygiene measures, which enables Rijk Zwaan to limit the chance of seed-borne diseases to an absolute minimum.
“When it comes to facilities and the way of working, Rijk Zwaan Promex is a replica of De Vesting, the nursery in De Lier that was officially opened earlier this year.”
