Erma is a boutique seed company specializing in the development, breeding, and marketing of vegetable seeds, founded in 1992. The company draws on a long family legacy of agricultural work, variety research, and close collaboration with growers. Its focus is on developing precise varieties and building lasting professional relationships with the farming community.
Erma operates as a focused, professional entity – not an industrial manufacturer – dedicating its resources to developing a select number of highly precise varieties with proven commercial value.
The company is led by top-tier professionals in genetics, agronomy, and agricultural marketing, supported by local field teams who are connected day in, day out to growers, their challenges, and the realities on the ground.
What sets Erma apart is not just the product – it’s the approach. The company sees itself as part of the farming community, not as an outside supplier. Relationships and friendship with farmers, dealers, and nurseries are built on personal familiarity, trust, consistent presence, and genuine accountability.
The company was founded out of a deep need to reduce risk for farmers. Commercial agriculture is a world of costly decisions, short seasons, and constant pressure. A wrong variety choice can turn an entire season into a loss. We’re here so you can make better, safer decisions – grounded in accumulated knowledge and experience – rather than gambling on long, expensive trials. Beyond the economic consideration stands a deeper set of values: respect for the land, for the people who work it, and for their ability to make an honest living.
LEADING VARIETIES
At Erma, we develop over 2,000 varieties each year across a wide range of crops, through a boutique approach that combines genetic precision, deep agronomic understanding, considering the complete chain supply requirements and an exceptionally high quality standard.
Every variety is developed with a balanced integration of disease resistance, shelf life, size, flavor, maturity, uniformity, color, plant health, and high yield potential – to deliver outstanding results across all growing conditions. Our varieties are suited for greenhouse, shade net, and open-field cultivation, providing stable performance throughout all seasonal cycles.
