A new chapter in vegetable breeding

The ambition that drives KWS – sustaining farms, food, and the planet – found a natural extension in vegetables. Since KWS entered the vegetable business in 2019, we expanded operations around the globe in strategically important vegetable production regions. From here, we can pursue our ambition with a long-term and independent perspective. With the breeding and research know-how we’ve built over the last 165+ years, we can truly make a difference in vegetables. 

“For more than 165 years we have been developing very successfully varieties of agricultural plants. This competency will help help to build up the new business activitity in vegetables.”
