Enza Zaden in China

Netherlands-based vegetable seed group Enza Zaden has announced that it has increased its presence in the Far East with a dual move in China.

To improve the direct marketing and sales of vegetable seeds in the country, the group has established a joint venture, Enza Zaden Beijing Seeds Co. Ltd, which is already operational.

According to the group, the new venture is expected to 'contribute substantially' to the further development of the Enza Zaden brand, products and results in the Chinese market.

Additionally, the group has built an additional research and development station in Ghuangzhou province in the south of China, allowing the group to further develop climate and regionally adapted varieties.

The centre joins a demonstration farm near the city of Shouguang and a research demonstration station near Beijing in Enza Zaden's Chinese portfolio.
