We  tomatoes and we will present the best tomatoes in our range for north-west Europe in this brochure!

When it comes to the choices that we make, our aim is always to consider our growers’ needs, which means offering a variety with a high quality, reliability and profitability. After all, these criteria constitute the foundations on which growers are building the future of their business. For that reason, our new varieties are also subjected to extensive testing in practice prior to their inclusion in our brochure.

A second, equally important aspect is innovation within our range. In all European countries, we see an increasing level of interest on the part of consumers in different types of tomato, different times of use and different types of use of the tomato product. Quality and flavour are the principal parameters in this regard.

Innovation is in Syngenta’s DNA. Through innovation, we are keen to add value for all partners in the chain, while we are continuously looking for new possibilities and partnerships to achieve this aim.

Let us surprise you with our wide, diverse, fantastic range and get in touch with the tomato team if you have any questions. Product range table

► Open, generative crop with strong ► High yield with high early harvest fruit set as well as constant flower as well and fruit yield ► Mildew-tolerant and highly resistant ► Early harvest, high yield to bottom end rot ► Uniform, deep red fruits ► Suitable for lit and unlit cultivation ► Continuous yield in summer ► Beautiful red fruit with first-class ► Truss pruning recommended in fruit quality and a good flavour spring score ► Rapid fruit set and stable variety Dirk Lauwers ‘Ebrando is a variety that combines perfectly with my main variety, Coeur de Boeuf. It copes impeccably with the major day/night differences that I use in the beginning. The variety shoots up, with the head growing neatly along the wire. We are currently looking forward to the introduction of the TCC14533. I have 1,000 m2 in testing and am extremely pleased with the production & quality. TCC14533 yields a slightly more open crop. The variety is even better at coping with the deep pre-nights at the start of the cultivation process, meaning that the fruit is perfect right from the first tomato. In short, I think that TCC14533 is a variety that definitely deserves a follow-up.’

Dirk Willaert Dirk Willaert, one of the largest tomato growers in the province of East Flanders, is already happily producing Ebrando for the third year. 'It is a high-quality variety whose tomatoes have sufficient connection to the truss. Ebrando allows for more extensive sorting (less +70, more +57 & +82), which I find to be a major benefit. On average, the price of the +82 & +57 is higher that that of the +70, making the average price for Ebrando higher that that of the other varieties within the Prince segment. The plant is fairly short, which makes it ideal in my older, lower greenhouse. This factor is one of the reasons why it is easy to work with Ebrando. If you ask me, I see no problem with Ebrando becoming the main variety within the Prince segment.’ Standard tomatoes

You get different types in a bag of wine gums as well. The flavour of the yellow and brown ones is a bit crisper than the flavour of the red ones, while the orange ones are a firm favourite with kids’, he says. As is the case with most players in the snack tomato sector, the Syngenta Sweetelle variety takes up the largest area at Agro Care. The other three are also varieties from Syngenta: the Ivorino, the KM5512 and the Bamano. ‘They are the best on the market in the snack segment at present. For us, it is all about quality, which is a combination of shelf life, crispness and above all flavour. A snack tomato needs to be a tasty product, even if it has come from Tunisia or Morocco.’ Baby plum

Sjaak Verploegen ‘We talk to our customers about their wishes on a daily basis and we were able to do a targeted search’, says Purchasing Manager Sjaak Verploegen. ‘The new mini truss cherry tomato Belido is sold under the name Arezzo in Germany, the UK and Scandinavia. Arezzo is a beautiful old city in Tuscany. There is already a tomato with the name Firenze in the wholesale channel. In terms of perception, the name suits it well. Wholesalers receive the Arezzo in de luxe wooden crates with a sash or in a cardboard box. To reinforce the image, we went for a picture of gem cutting, because the mini truss cherry tomatoes are really gems from Mother Nature.’ Cherry, truss
