This season marks 5 years since the inception of Magnus Kahl Seeds BV into the EU. "Prior to Magnus Kahl Seeds BV starting, the European market was serviced from our Australian base for 15 years. Having a manager, office, and warehouse in Europe over the past 5 years has been a significant step in better servicing our customers and growing market share. Having a presence on the ground in Europe has allowed the company to maintain important long-term relationships as well as develop key new partners."
Magnus Kahl Seeds is an Australian allium breeding, production, and marketing-based company; "Our head office is in Melbourne, Victoria. Although some seed is produced in Europe, the company still undertakes the majority of its allium seed production in Australia in warm, dry conditions. These conditions are highly suitable for seed production, with disease pressure being at a minimum. Seed production in the arid zones of Australia is very consistent and reliable."
The 2024/2025 Australian seed production season has been no exception for Magnus Kahl Seeds. After a very successful seed harvest, they are now busy shipping the new season seed to their European base in Budel, the Netherlands. Magnus Kahl Seeds BV offers a high-quality range of seed shallot and echalion varieties, as well as a range of onion varieties for both the fresh and set markets. The company also has a range of niche allium products such as red echalions and sweet onions, as well as shallots and onions suitable for the dehydration market.
"The message that Magnus Kahl Seeds BV would like to send to all European producers, is that we have strong stock levels of shallot, echalion, and onion seed for the 2025 season. As a show of support for our loyal, long-standing customers we have prioritized their needs. However, our supply is such that we are able to present new and past customers with the opportunity to work with our products this season and beyond. Dealing directly with our customer base allows us to offer very competitive prices."
