Five Ways Syngenta is Supporting Snacking Tomato and Pepper

31 March 2025, US: As consumers around the world reach for more convenience, snacking tomatoes and peppers are among the easiest and healthiest options. Syngenta Vegetable Seeds is committed to helping growers succeed with these unique crops, placing agronomics, yield, and consumer preferences at the forefront of breeding.

Benefits of Syngenta Snacking Tomato and Pepper

1. Disease Resistance: Our baby plum tomatoes include resistance to ToBRFV and other diseases, safeguarding yield potential, and fruit quality.
2. Market Demand: Both snacking tomatoes and peppers cater to the growing consumer trend for convenient, healthy snacks.
3. Versatility: The snacking varieties can be sold individually, in mixed packs, or as part of prepared salads, offering multiple market options.
4. Innovation Pipeline: Syngenta continues to invest in research and development, with a promising future in both tomato and pepper varieties.
5. Global Opportunities: With growing demand in various international markets, growers have the potential to expand their reach.

When it comes to tomato, disease resistance – especially to Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (ToBRFV) – is a top concern. However, with snacking-types consumer choice matters, too.

“As we continue to add new varieties to our lineup, we’re making sure they still taste great,” said Arthur van Marrewijk, Syngenta Vegetable Seeds Product Specialist. “Consumers love the taste of our tomatoes and choose them when they go to the grocery store, so with the introductions of new [ToBRFV] resistant varieties we want to make sure that growers can continue to deliver what consumers expect.”
