About Us
Agriom specialises in breeding plant varieties for the production of floriculture and soft fruit crops.
The main office of Agriom is located in De Kwakel, the Netherlands. In addition to the central breeding company, the company consists of a number of joint ventures that excel in specific crops.
Each joint venture is a long- term partnership between breeder Agriom and internationally operating production companies. Together we work on breeding successes that determine the relevant market.
A successful cultivation starts with excellent plant material. By producing high-quality plantmaterial, we add a core activity to our business operations and support the introduction of new varieties via Amuse B.V.
Together with its partners, Agriom closely follows global movements in floriculture and fruit growing. Our approach is innovative and we are driven by results. Our goal is to introduce new improved crops quickly to the market.
In addition to the breeding activities within the joint venture companies, Agriom also carries out work on behalf of fellow propagation and/or production companies. These activities vary from guidance or advice on breeding programs to the complete design and implementation of a breeding project. Agriom also conducts research related to breeding activities.
Agriom excells in classical plant breeding. We make optimal use of the natural genetic variation that exists in every crop and create varieties with better cultivation properties and superior quality through crossbreeding. Our breeding programs comply with the international rules as laid down in the Nagoya Protocol.
The purpose, design and implementation of a breeding program are determined in close consultation with the client.
We have knowledge of both the Dutch and foreign markets. This contributes to the successful introduction of new varieties.
Agriom is located at four locations in and around Aalsmeer, the Netherlands. In total there is 5 hectares of greenhouses and 1 hectare of open field.
At our main office in De Kwakel we have access to various climate cells and facilities for testingt the shelf life of products under set conditions.
Agriom also has special areas for disease-resistance testing and a tissue culture laboratory that enables the rapid propagation of new products when necessary.
The laboratory is also equiped for other activities to support plant breeding such as mutagenesis, the production of virus-free plants, ploidy modification and embryo rescue.
We test crops at locations in Germany, Spain, Kenya and Ecuador.
