Financial data
NV Roger Maes is a Belgian plant breeding and seed production company specializing in vegetable and herb seeds
We specialize in leek hybrids, our own selections; we are one of only eight companies in the world
Developing new leek hybrids requires significant investment, and thanks in part to our strong collaboration with universities, we are able to develop disease-free varieties for the market. We have excellent varieties and have currently developed a top-tier variety that allows us to outperform the competition.
The combination of having excellent leek hybrid varieties, the marketing campaign, and the expected positive feedback from the trial fields makes us optimistic about next season’s sales, which begin on September 15, 2026; we will then organize Open House Days to convince potential customers.
A self-employed career offers freedom and entrepreneurial opportunities with potential; the owner will provide you with training for 3 to 5 years, all of which is included in the purchase price.
