Where will you be working? 

You will be joining our Sales Team, which currently consists of 15 colleagues at Rijk Zwaan Brazil. Founded in 2011, the company has its administrative office based in Mogi-Mirim, São Paulo. It also operates two experimental fields: one in the same city and another located in Mossoró, Rio Grande do Norte. Even before its official establishment, we already had partners working to develop our products — in other words, Rijk Zwaan seeds have been present in Brazil for over 13 years.

Our growth and success have been built on establishing long-term relationships with grower partners, customers, and suppliers. One of the defining characteristics of Rijk Zwaan Brazil is its unique corporate culture, which places employees at the heart of the business and considers them key to its success.
