Bejo

Together with our customers and partners we actively explore market opportunities and innovative research methods. We stay close to nature to develop the best vegetable seeds so professional growers around the world can harvest healthy, flavourful varieties for consumers to enjoy, today and in fifty years' time. – Exploring nature never stops. Bejo is a leading company in breeding, production and sales of vegetable seeds. With operations in more than thirty countries, we are an internationally oriented family business. Our 1,900 employees are dedicated to developing the best vegetable varieties for the present and the future. We build long-term relationships with our customers rather than going for quick wins. Our representatives are in close communication with growers, exchanging views and listening to their concerns. We invest considerably in research. Just as we were ahead in the 1960s in applying modern breeding techniques, we never stop actively exploring all new technologies. The more we learn about plants, right down to the DNA level, the more able we are to develop new varieties faster and more accurately than ever. As the world population increases and more mouths need to be fed, there is a steadily growing need for good, healthy food. We contribute with our expertise and by further improving our breeding methods. We stay close to nature. We feel that the world's scarce natural resources deserve protection, so that growers can harvest from healthy, fertile soil, now and in fifty years' time. That's why we are always looking for new, more sustainable farming methods and why we invest in a broad range of organic vegetable seeds. As a family business, we continue to do what we have always done: produce the best seeds and create the best varieties for healthy, flavourful, sustainably grown vegetables. Working together with growers and partners in the supply chain to give good initiatives room to grow: that's our passion.
