STORY – ‘And… how does it taste? It’s a natural question when discussing a new tomato, melon, or pepper. Did you know that, for a long time, flavour wasn’t a top priority in breeding? In the 1990s, things changed because of a closer collaboration with growers and retailer, leading to many new market and business developments. It’s how we move forward with customers and partners #RijkZwaan100years #partnerships https://hubs.la/Q02KybCh0

EVENT - Recharge with Sweet Pointed Peppers! Last weekend, our consumer platform, Love My Salad, brought a fun and healthy twist to a Dutch festival with the launch of the "Vitamin C Charging Station." Festival-goers had the chance to swap fast food for a nutritious snack. This activation was a creative way to encourage youngsters to choose vegetables. Sweet Palermo peppers were the star of the show, not only because they look stunning but also because they're sweet, bursting with Vitamin C, and perfect for snacking. Could this be the next big festival trend? #vegetables #marketing #healthy
