Enza Zaden has announced the launch of the new Enza Zaden Nordics webpage, a dedicated regional platform developed to support and connect with growers, partners, and agricultural professionals in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Iceland. The page represents a step in strengthening regional communication and providing information tailored to the specific needs of the Nordic market.
As agriculture in Northern Europe continues to evolve, the region is seeing ongoing developments in greenhouse technology, sustainability initiatives, and demand for high-quality, locally produced vegetables. Against this backdrop, the company maintains its focus on supporting growers with genetics, seed quality, and knowledge suited to local climate conditions and production systems.
Enza Zaden has been active in the Nordic region for more than 25 years. Over that time, it has expanded its presence and built long-term relationships with growers, distributors, and other industry stakeholders. From early variety trials with local growers to current cooperation with distributors and grower networks, these collaborations have contributed to shaping a portfolio adapted to Nordic growing conditions. The new webpage reflects this regional focus and the intention to continue working closely with the market.
Although each Nordic country has its own climate and market dynamics, they share a strong emphasis on sustainability, local production, and technological innovation. Supplemental lighting in greenhouse production is a defining characteristic of the region. Finland has long been a leader in lighted production, while Norway has significantly increased its lighted acreage in recent years, particularly in cucumber and tomato cultivation. Sweden has expanded more gradually, and both Denmark and Sweden combine strong summer production with seasonal imports when energy and labor costs are high.

In addition to greenhouse production, open-field leafy crops play an important role across the region. Enza Zaden supplies Iceberg lettuce and Mini Romaine varieties in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. In Finland, hydroponic lettuce production is well established and continues to grow, representing a distinct segment within the Nordic market.
Collaboration with regional distributors remains central to operations. In Norway, the company works with LOG AS. In Sweden and Denmark, cooperation takes place with SW Horto, and in Finland with Schetelig. These distributors maintain close contact with growers and contribute local market knowledge. This cooperation supports the development of high-wire, lighted greenhouse assortments and ongoing open-field leafy trials in Denmark and Sweden, helping ensure that varieties are suited to regional conditions.
The Nordics webpage is designed as a practical and accessible source of information for growers and industry professionals. It provides crop-specific product information tailored to Nordic conditions, including details on key varieties. Visitors can also find information on resistances and disease organisms, including resistance codes and background on pathogens relevant to the region. In addition, the page includes updates on regional field days, trade fairs, demonstration events, and other activities where growers and industry representatives can connect with company specialists and peers.
