gamy productionArmada China is mould together with a privately owned company in China , which has the adroitness uncommitted and a caboodle of people who studied at Wageningen University , explains Gerard Lentjes . “ So we are expect to acquire seedling at a gamy capacity , after which we can then commercialize them globally . It is good for us to be able to breed at the place where the plant will be cultivated in China . In plus , labor is much less of an issue in China than in other countries . As a result , we will be capable to produce a lot of chrysanthemum seedling in a short amount of time . In The Netherlands , for model , we do not have the capacity to cover to this extent . ”
Travel restraintsOne of the biggest challenges in forming the agreement has been the travelling restraints . “ We have not been able-bodied to travel to China throughout the summons so far , even though the agreement do need to be signed in person , for example .

The mixed bag that will be developed in China will become available for Armada ’s worldwide trialing and selling . But there is a muckle that needs to happen before we can officially introduce them to our salmagundi , which we are hoping to accomplish in about three to four years . As of today , it is still a framework correspondence so the further point will follow in the future , but we are unrestrained to be among the first breeders to start such a project in China . ”For more information : Armada Young PlantsGerard Lentjes[email protected]www.armadayoungplants.nl
