The story of our success

For over a hundred years, we at Hazera have provided more than just seeds to grow tasty, nourishing vegetables. We work close with our partners around the world, walking alongside them to ensure our solutions help their communities flourish, too.Over the years, we’ve consistently developed ambitious seed varieties that respond to our partners’ needs. We don’t shy away from a challenge because our potential comes from within. This approach has seen our crops become staples in communities everywhere.

From the first tomato with a long shelf life to cherry tomatoes, to onions with the best yield and storability around. Through it all, we’ve relied on powerful partnerships founded on trust. Our partners include growers, retailers, researchers and consumers. Together, we remain committed to resourceful and innovative thinking to drive creative solutions. These are just some of the major milestones we’ve hit along the way:

1978: Galia – a new type of high-yield melon that doesn’t sacrifice shape, color, taste or aroma (in cooperation with ARO)
1992: Daniela – the first tomato with extended shelf life (in cooperation with the Hebrew University)
1999: Mini Seedless Watermelon – the very first mini watermelon with a long shelf life
2003: Pointed Cabbage – the first pointed cabbage suitable for long storage
2008: Onions ­– the ideal combination of storability and high yield
2013: Tinty – the first red pointed cabbage
2018: Red Brussels Sprouts – a new color segment

It’s no accident our portfolio of crops is as diverse as our list of partners. At Hazera, we know we’re only as good as the variety of seeds we offer. And we’re only doing our job if our solutions work for our partners, too.

• 1/3 of our staff is actively involved in Research & Development (R&D)

• We maintain 8 breeding stations around the world
