When it comes to tomato, disease resistance – especially to Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (ToBRFV) – is a top concern. However, with snacking-types consumer choice matters, too.
“As we continue to add new varieties to our lineup, we’re making sure they still taste great,” said Arthur van Marrewijk, Syngenta Vegetable Seeds Product Specialist. “Consumers love the taste of our tomatoes and choose them when they go to the grocery store, so with the introductions of new [ToBRFV] resistant varieties we want to make sure that growers can continue to deliver what consumers expect.”

For pepper, Syngenta’s snacking peppers – Angello – are seedless, making them an even more convenient option for consumers.
“Our Angello™ brand represents all of the seedless peppers at Syngenta,” said Lotfi Bani, Northwest Europe Key Account Manager Value Chain. “We’re expanding to add more seedless peppers in the future. The special thing about Syngenta’s seedless peppers is we have created seeds, not plant cuttings, that can be used to produce this great veggie.”
