The breeding program is managed with a vision only to develop varieties that have added value for the whole potato chain.

 

Without added value a variety has no future. The innovative potato varieties of C. Meijer B.V. are sold and used worldwide as high quality seed potatoes or produced under license. The activities of the company take place in some fifty countries. The motto “Meijer for sure” stands for providing the most optimum service to all users of the Meijer varieties in order to guarantee a long term business relationship. The new commercial varieties that arise from the breeding program are going to professional seed growers. These growers, who are located in the Netherlands and France, multiply the high quality Class S material to Class SE, E or A.
