It is with pleasure that Lefroy Valley Australia announces the distribution of the De Ruiter seeds brand from the 1st of July, 2008. The final contract was signed in May this year.
 

De Ruiter are world leaders in protected culture crops. They have an excellent research and development team which is very focused on their product groups of capsicum, cucumber, eggplant,

melon and tomato.

They remain world leaders in tomato rootstock, with Maxifort dominating this market. The De Ruiter range of product types in tomatoes is extensive from cherries through to truss, these are available in different colours and fruit sizes. Tricia is currently a strong line for the heat truss market, with new varieties Success, Doloress and Plaisance performing well in trials.

The demand for food and niche products under increasingly tough climatic conditions has resulted in a world wide trend towards more protected culture crops.

The addition of the De Ruiter brand to our product range, means that Lefroy Valley will be ideally placed to service this market. We look forward to continuing the strong development of De Ruiter products in Australia, with the resultant win-win for growers!
