Our objective and our contribution

Objective:

Our objective is to make a contribution to a good life on earth with our varieties.

Belief:

We believe that knowledge-intensive agriculture and horticulture are crucial for a good life on earth.

Contribution:

Our contribution to this is to make the most of the plant's potential. 'Unleashing plant potential', as we call it.
We do this by developing pioneering genetics and services, resulting in sustainably produced asparagus and strawberry varieties that are good for growers, consumers and future generations.

"As Limgroup, we have a responsibility to the future. We fulfil this responsibility using our purpose as our guiding principle, spreading our message to the outside world in a positive way."

Vincent Deenen, CEO Limgroup.
