Bejo vegetable seeds

Bejo (legally Bejo Zaden B.V.) is a globally recognized leader in the breeding, production, and distribution of high-quality vegetable seeds. Based in the Netherlands, the company traces its roots back over a century to the separate family businesses of Cor Beemsterboer and Jacob Jong. In 1978, these two entities merged to form the modern Bejo Zaden, maintaining its status as a private, family-owned enterprise through generations.

While its headquarters and central research facilities remain in Warmenhuizen, Netherlands, Bejo operates on a global scale. Its seed production and breeding programs are strategically located in various climatic zones across more than 30 countries to ensure genetic adaptation and risk management. Key production areas include the Netherlands, France, Italy, South Africa, and the United States.

As of 2026, Bejo remains an independent family-owned company, distinguished by its focus on professional outdoor cultivation and organic seed production. It is renowned for its diverse portfolio of over 1,200 varieties across 50 different crops, specifically specializing in onions, carrots, and brassicas.
