It was the solution that tomato growers all over the world had been hoping for: the introduction of tomato varieties with high resistance (HR) against the Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (ToBRFV). This is one way in which Rijk Zwaan is contributing to the ‘fresh foundation’ for companies such as Noordhuys Tomatoes in the Netherlands. “It improves the reliability of both our customer supply and our turnover,” says Theo van Noord. Over the past seven years, the virus has caused significant destruction worldwide. Rijk Zwaan is presenting the new HR tomato varieties at Fruit Logistica in Berlin, in line with the company’s theme of ‘Freshly Forward, from Foundation to Future’.

Gabriela Huanca, agricultora del Valle de Azapa, nos cuenta de su primera experiencia con Antumay RZ. Ella nos comenta que esta nueva variedad "conserva el rojo de Alamina y el calibre de Attiya". Además, Gabriela es pionera en el uso de nuestro nuevo portainjerto Suzuka RZ, y según sus propias palabras, "imprime vigor, calibre y firmeza a la variedad".
