La Vega emerges as agriculture hub through Dominican-Israeli watermelon seed partnership

La Vega.- The Dominican Republic is strengthening its reputation as a leader in agricultural innovation through a strategic partnership between La Vega-based company Eurosuministros and Israeli agricultural genetics firm Origene Seeds. This alliance has introduced advanced watermelon and melon varieties, including seedless watermelons developed with cutting-edge genetic technology.

These high-performance seeds offer faster harvest times, adaptability to various climates, and high-quality fruit suitable for both local and export markets. Dominican supermarkets are already offering these improved watermelons, praised for their flavor, texture, and consumer convenience.

Beyond benefiting local production, this collaboration has enabled the Dominican Republic to begin exporting seeds, positioning the country as a regional supplier of advanced agricultural inputs. This initiative not only boosts farmer profitability but also connects Dominican agriculture to global innovation networks. With this effort, La Vega emerges as a key hub in the country’s agro-industrial transformation, reinforcing the Dominican Republic’s role as a regional leader in modern agriculture.
