Sven

Consistent Yields for Professional Growers

The Sven pepper by Rijk Zwaan is designed for producers who prioritize stability and uniformity. This hybrid excels in both greenhouse conditions and open fields, providing farmers with the flexibility to adapt to varying climate and cultivation infrastructures without compromising on quality.

Technical Advantages

• Disease Resistance: Featuring strong genetics against Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV), this hybrid allows growers to reduce the need for intensive chemical plant protection programs.
• Marketability: With a fruit weight of 160-190 grams and a consistent blocky shape, Sven meets the high standards required for commercial retail. The yellow-white color during technical maturity is highly sought after for its fresh, vibrant appearance.
• Harvest Planning: A maturation window of 75-80 days enables precise production scheduling, making it easier to meet supply contracts and seasonal market demand.

Operational Efficiency

In practice, Sven is chosen for its durability and post-harvest performance. The fruit structure is robust, ensuring that the peppers remain in pristine condition during transit—a critical factor for wholesale distributors and supermarket chains. Whether managing a greenhouse operation or large-scale open-ground production, the Sven hybrid offers a predictable balance of high yield, disease protection, and excellent shelf-life, minimizing risk and maximizing farm-gate returns.
