It is the 12,5-year anniversary of Tomatoworld and a year in which they have the courage to invest into the future. In cooperation with Hoogendoorn Growth Management, LetsGrow.com and other Hortimasters, Tomatoworld implements a Data Driven Growing Strategy and becomes a living lab for innovations. This development is the perfect anniversary present to their worldwide business relations who want to be ahead of innovations from the Dutch greenhouse horticulture sector. The livestream launch will take place at 29th of April.
In the greenhouse of Tomatoworld, there are 18 tomato varieties of Enza Zaden this year. They have once again joined the network of partners. Enza Zaden develops new vegetable varieties that are grown, sold and eaten all over the world.
As an independent family company, Enza Zaden has been active for three generations. Core values such as entrepreneurship, long-term vision and a focus on innovation characterise the company's distinctive character and healthy growth. The core question that is central to the Tomatoworld exhibition "How to feed almost 10 billion people in 2050" is also an important starting point for Enza Zaden.
In its daily work, it is all about developing the right varieties for the right climate so that varied and healthy vegetables can be eaten all over the world. For Enza Zaden, the new direction of Tomatoworld in which data-driven cultivation technologies are validated and demonstrated is an interesting development that they would like to be a part of.
For and by people who want to improve their production and contribute to the global food challenge.
Since this year, Tomatoworld has been joined by several new companies.

And how cool that the colors match the Tomatoworld house style so well. We are pleased that we will soon be able to show our visitors the innovative techniques Dutch companies in the greenhouse horticulture sector have to offer.

PRESS RELEASE
We are already well on the way with the cultivation. Last week the head was taken out of the crop, so this week we will realise the last setting. Despite the nice weather we have to stay focused to get a good end result. The summer days demand a lot from the plants when it comes to keeping the water balance at the right level. This also means for us that we have to be careful that we give the plant the opportunity to do this.
