Growing value with colourful Chard
Chard combines striking colours with strong field performance. Suitable for both baby leaf and mature production, it helps growers supply attractive retail assortments while maintaining consistent quality. Rijk Zwaan develops robust chard varieties for diverse climates and growing systems, creating opportunities to add value throughout the chain.
Colourful, nutritious and versatile
Swiss chard is a new leaf vegetable introduced to Southeast Asia countries. In addition to its eye-catching variety of colors, Swiss chard also has high nutritional value due to its high content of vitamins A, C, K, B, B2, B6, etc... and minerals. Currently, Swiss chard is an important ingredient in meals in Western countries and is increasingly appearing on the table of Asia families.
Reliable performance for growers
Rijk Zwaan offers high-quality Swiss chard varieties that combine attractive colours with strong field performance. Fast-growing and naturally robust, these varieties can be harvested at different leaf sizes and are suitable for salads, soups, stir-fries and other fresh applications. This flexibility creates opportunities for growers, retailers and consumers alike.

Horticulture is a surprisingly dynamic and fast developing industry. We believe in Asia we are only at the start of the development of protected horticulture. Working with growers, investors, traders, processors, retailers and other stakeholders in such an environment is a great experience. Especially since at Rijk Zwaan, we are an essential part at the beginning of the food chain through our high-quality seeds.
