In this report, I will first briefly discuss the history of the well-known brand “Heinz Ketchup”, its early days and the reasons why they’re still the number one keptchup in the industry, along with some fond memories.

Last but not least, I will discuss the future for Heinz Ketchup.

Enjoy the read!

They have also been able to improve disease resistance so the growers can reduce their use of pesticides. My question is then, what did they use to improve disease
