New varieties

Bejo introduces new varieties in several crops every year. New insights from customers, business contacts and the market enable us to develop new vegetable varieties and improve existing ones, so growers all over the world can harvest healthy, tasty vegetables.

A new generation of carrot varieties

Natuna, a reliable variety worldwide

This continental Nantes type thrives in warm and dry conditions. The variety is popular with both conventional and organic growers because it is strong against traditional diseases such as alternaria and cercospora.

Nagasaki, a beautiful cylindrical variety

A nice cylindrical variety, suited to an early sowing window (few days later than Napoli). Smooth and strong against green shoulders, excellent tops and a good standing ability in the field.

Nagoya, a mid-early Nantes

A variety suitable for second early harvest to cultivation under straw cover, for medium-early storage.

New fennel varieties

Positano, an autumn fennel variety
