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.

Nagoya, a mid-early Nantes
