Our new brochure for 2018-2019We 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 tomato 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.

Ebrando TCC14533

Standard tomatoes

‘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 Lauwers

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.’

Dirk Willaert

Angelle Sweetelle

Baby plum

If he is being honest, he himself thinks that the red snack tomato

is the tastiest, but the fact that the popularity of the yellow,

orange and brown snack tomatoes is on the rise is something

which Agro Care’s Philip van Antwerpen understands all too well.

‘They look just as though they are sweets. 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.’

Belido Lullaby

Cherry, truss

‘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.’

Sjaak Verploegen

Jeroen KeijzerBelido has appealing aspects for Keijzer as well. ‘There is

increasing market demand for this type of tomato, so I am happy

that I now have an opportunity to gain experience with it. Belido

suffers less in hot summers, as the variety can endure a lot. It even

scores well in terms of resistance to fungal diseases.’
