Duna-R Kft. was established in 1995 as a 100% Hungarian family owned company. Nowadays, after 30 years of work, it has grown to become one of the leading pepper breeding and pepper seed distributors. Our main goal is to breed competitive pepper hybrids and provide our customers with high quality seed. To achieve this, in 2015 we built our Experimental Garden in the Szentes Industrial Park, where we are performing the breeding work. Seeds are processed (using modern machines and high quality seed procedures) and distributed from our headquarters in Budapest.

We currently offer 59 hybrid pepper varieties in several types.

In our breeding work, we aim to integrate three or more resistances (TMV, CMV, TSWV, Lt, Bs2, Ma/Mi/Mj)  into our newest varieties. This will make farming safer and produce more healthier food using fewer pesticides.

As climatic and weather conditions change, so do the technologies, so there is a huge need to use the latest methods, accurate and rapid testing in breeding.

We also consider the education of young farmers to be important, so we support both education at secondary and university level. Students of the Bartha János Horticultural Technical and Vocational School and students of the Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Szeged are also welcome to visit the farms.

Since the beginning, our goal has remained the same: to breed varieties adapted to the local conditions, to the market and technological conditions and to offer our partners high quality seeds at affordable prices.
