We actively participate in several international branch organisations:
The International Seed Federation (ISF) represents the interests of the seed sector on a global level.
The European Seed Association (ESA) is the voice of the European seed industry. It represents the interests of those active in research, breeding, production and marketing of seeds of agricultural, horticultural and ornamental plant species.
The American Seed Trade Association (ASTA) is one of the most important trade organisations in the United States of America. Its membership consists of over 700 companies involved in seed production and distribution, plant breeding and related industries in North America. The ASTA represents and promotes the interests of the US and global seed industry.
The Asia and Pacific Seed Association (APSA) was established in 1994 with the aim of promoting quality seed production and marketing in the Asia and Pacific Region.
The Anti-Infringement Bureau (AIB) is an association of European vegetable seed breeding companies. Its mission is to educate seed users on the intellectual property rights and investigate, coordinate and fight infringements of the intellectual property rights of its members.
Enza Zaden shares its expertise with other (international) seed companies in the fields of phytosanitary measures, new methods to test for diseases, regulations relating to the import and export of plant-based propagating material and intellectual property rights. We also share knowledge relating to IT and logistics.
In association with other partners we are involved in European Framework Programmes for Research and Development. In additions, we participate in joint projects with various international academic institutes.
