In the beginning there was sugarbeet. Over the course of many decades, KWS has developed into an innovative, international seed specialist with a broad portfolio of cultivated plants: From breeding to production and sales – our high-quality varieties stand for high-yield, sustainable harvests. To achieve this, we build on our closeness to farmers, whose challenges and needs we know. Each newly bred variety features high-performance traits that are adapted to regional conditions such as climate and soil conditions.
