OriGene Seeds’ Woodland Event Showcases Leading Watermelon Varieties
OriGene Seeds held its annual customer event last month in Woodland, bringing together customers and industry professionals from North, Central and South America, as well as Africa, Australia and Europe.
Considered one of the company’s major events of the year, the open-field gathering combines a commercial meeting with a hands-on professional experience, with a strong focus on melon and watermelon varieties.
The event provides customers with an opportunity to meet OriGene Seeds’ commercial, technical, and breeding teams, exchange professional knowledge, and learn about the company’s latest developments and innovations. Held directly in the field, it also allows visitors to walk through the plots, see the different varieties under actual growing conditions and evaluate their characteristics firsthand.
As a leading company in the development of melon and watermelon varieties, OriGene Seeds sees the Woodland event as much more than a product showcase. It is an important opportunity to meet customers face-to-face, better understand their needs; and learn directly from them about the challenges they encounter in the field and the changing demands of their markets.
This direct dialogue provides valuable insights that support the development of future varieties and solutions. With continuous research and development at the heart of its activities, OriGene Seeds believes in working closely with growers, distributors and industry partners to develop products that respond to real market needs and future challenges.
