The Swedish market is changing rapidly. More and more companies are focusing on regional production, as transport becomes more expensive and the demand for food security increases. This is why local cultivation is receiving more attention, especially when it's organized sustainably and efficiently. This presents a clear opportunity for professional vegetable growers, nurseries, and garden centers, especially when working with varieties that perform well in the northern climate. At easyseeds.eu, we offer a wide range of professional seeds selected specifically for this purpose: suitable for cool conditions and shorter seasons.
Sweden has significant regional climate variations. In the south, such as Skåne or Blekinge, the growing season lasts approximately 180 to 200 days. Central Sweden averages around 140 to 160 days. In the north, the season is shorter, often no more than 100 to 120 days, but with extremely long summer days. As a result, growers primarily need varieties that grow quickly, are cold-tolerant, and ripen early.
Crops such as spinach, lamb's lettuce, bok choy, and romaine lettuce are popular with professional growers because they have a short growth cycle and are therefore well-suited for both early and late cultivation. Root vegetables such as carrots, beets, and parsnips perform well due to their storage properties and export potential. Brassica crops, such as kale, cauliflower, and Chinese cabbage, also deliver reliable yields in Sweden. Peas and beans are popular for their contribution to soil fertility. Tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers are attractive for greenhouse cultivation, ideal for heated greenhouses or tunnels. Furthermore, the market for strawberries, raspberries, and berries continues to grow strongly, particularly in the retail sector.
These vegetable varieties are available in professional packaging at easyseeds.eu, with bulk options for large-scale cultivation or resale.
Many companies use a sowing calendar that aligns with the Swedish seasons. February and March are often used for indoor sowing, particularly tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants. Grow lights and some greenhouse heating are almost always necessary at this time. From April and May onward, cold-hardy crops can be planted outdoors as soon as the soil temperature rises above six degrees Celsius. In May and June, young greenhouse plants are planted out, and the summer season begins. July and August usually see a second sowing season for leafy vegetables, which benefit from the longer days. September and October are the harvest season and the autumn planting season for garlic or winter onions, for example. Many growers extend the season with polytunnels or raised beds, easily gaining three to four extra weeks.
For business customers in Scandinavia, easyseeds.eu delivers quickly and reliably. Our range includes vegetable, flower, and herb seeds in professional packaging, and also in bulk. Our location within the EU allows for fast delivery, and we're happy to help customers with advice on variety selection, climate adaptation, and crop planning. Our customer base in Sweden ranges from small organic farms to larger growers who supply shops and markets.
The market is also strongly moving towards organic and locally produced food. A significant portion of agricultural land is now organically certified, and interest in regenerative agriculture and permaculture is growing. Climate-adaptive cultivation systems are also being stimulated with subsidies. This makes Sweden an attractive market for European suppliers of seeds and growing materials.
Collaborations take various forms. Growers can order directly in bulk, distributors can offer our seeds in their stores or wholesale, and private label solutions are available for companies wishing to carry their own line. We also offer support with variety selection and cultivation strategies. Our B2B department speaks English, Dutch, and German and works daily with clients in Sweden, Norway, and Finland.
Professional sowing and planting in Sweden primarily requires thorough preparation, climate knowledge, and reliable seeds. With the easyseeds.eu product range, businesses can respond to the growing demand for locally grown products and thus capitalize on the opportunities offered by the northern climate.
