Close to customers
The Philippines is home to more than 100 million people. The growing population demands for more and healthier food. Vegetables play an important part in an increasing divers and healthy diet. A challenge for the local growers. With the opening of the new office, Enza Zaden ensures that they are close to the market, to their customers.
Establishing a new office and having a dedicated team in the Philippines will help to identify the needs of the local growers and the local market. This enables the independent family company to develop the best high performing varieties, totally attuned to the local (climate) conditions.
