Interview with Roland Peerenboom - Enza Zaden

What is your assessment of the percentage of European seed companies that are undertaking an organic seed production program, either in-house or through sub-contractors?

I can talk only about the vegetable seed companies.

In our organic seed survey 10 out of 17 of the ESA vegetable seed company members supplied data, so that makes at least 60%. Some of these companies are market leaders in some species, so their relative impact on the supply of organic seeds is even bigger.

Aside from that, there are many more companies involved in the production of organic seeds.
