Watermelon
Watermelons are known for their juicy, sweet flesh and very high lycopene content. Rijk Zwaan has expanded its breeding activities in this crop and we are now pleased to offer our first outstanding varieties.
Watermelon (Citrullus Lanatus L.) is one of the traditional crops of Asia and many countries around the world. Watermelon is also known as a nutritious fruit, rich in vitamins and minerals, accordingly very good for health.
Commonly grown in many regions throughout Asia, watermelon is one of the crops that bring high economic value to growers. In addition, watermelon not only serves the domestic market but also has great export value.
With a strategy of developing high-quality watermelon varieties for the Asia market, Rijk Zwaan is focusing on developing seedless watermelon varieties, micro seed watermelons, carotene-rich red flesh watermelons, etc... with the promise of bringing a lot of value to growers. The breed is currently being tested by Rijk Zwaan and will be launched in the market in the near future.
