The yearly consumption of fresh herbs is still increasing. Beside some exciting vegetative raised herbs there are mainly seed raised herbs in production in order to meet the requirements of this mass market. And what might be surprising to you: even in standard herbs such as basil, parsley, dill or coriander there are different selections making the difference. Try our ‘Titou’, ‘Eagle’ or ‘Genoveser Compacto’, and you will understand why these selections are perfect for an economical production. We also invested in improving the seed quality; this is why you can choose some major crops as calibrated seeds or as seed discs. Also in herbs we can offer new products: for example the new basil ‘Lucie’ is the best and easiest to produce red basil available.
