Meeting grower needs with global research and development

My mission is to increase the final yield for growers. Disease resistance, longer shelf lives, fruits that can be transported with less damage … every incremental advance helps to make our industry more sustainable.” — Ruud Kaagman, Global Crop Unit Head, Tomatoes

We’re harnessing the power of machine learning to create new varieties that are less labor-intensive and more productive without sacrificing desirable traits, making them even more attractive to growers and consumers. 

Syngenta was the first company to market a tomato variety with resistance to Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (ToBRFV), a highly transmissible tomato virus.
When the outbreak began, we screened all of our germplasm in a systematic search for natural resistance to the virus. And we found it. Hailed as a major breakthrough in the battle against this destructive and persistent virus, our Lansor beef tomato was a big hit in Mediterranean countries that were affected first and most heavily. This was quickly followed by our Barosor beef tomato. Since then, we’ve continued to work tirelessly to provide solutions for tomato growers. Today we have varieties available with ToBRFV resistance, with many more in development. 

“Growers can lose up to 70% of their produce due to the virus, and it’s spreading rapidly.” — Ruud Kaagman, Global Crop Unit Head, Tomatoes

From open-field growing to passive greenhouses or active greenhouses, Syngenta brings you an unrivaled choice of tomato varieties. Our approach goes far beyond simply selling tomato seeds.
