The Dutch Giant Pumpkin Championships

The Dutch Pumpkin Growing Championships bring together passionate growers from the Netherlands and neighbouring countries to compete for the heaviest pumpkin of the season. For CANNA, sponsoring this event is an opportunity to showcase our expertise in plant nutrition in a setting that is accessible, fun, and widely covered by the media. It also connects us with a community of dedicated growers who value quality products and share our passion for cultivation.

One of the highlights in recent years was when Dutch grower Iwan Horde, supported by CANNA, broke the national record with a pumpkin weighing 897.7 kg. Iwan grew his record-breaking pumpkin using BIOCANNA Vega, BIOCANNA Flores, Rhizotonic and Boost. While the overall title went to a Belgian grower, the achievement was a strong example of how CANNA products can deliver outstanding results across different crops and growing styles.

Beyond the competition itself, the event reinforces our brand’s position as a trusted partner for growers of all kinds: from hobbyists to professionals, and strengthens relationships that benefit our network year-round.
