Empowering the Next Generation of Vegetable Breeding
My name is Shivan Bhoelai and I’m a self-employed consulting breeder specializing in tomatoes and other vegetable crops. Whether you’re starting a new breeding project or looking to strengthen an existing one, I provide customized advice and innovative solutions—always with a focus on taste and resilience. By partnering with a network of specialist, I extend my expertise to a wider array of plant-breeding services, ensuring your project is supported from every angle.
About My Consultancy
I believe that strong, flavorful, and disease-resistant vegetables are the cornerstone of sustainable agriculture. My passion for breeding has led me to focus on developing varieties that don’t just survive, but truly thrive—especially when it comes to overcoming challenges like ToBRFV.
By combining hands-on experience with the latest scientific insights, I guide breeders and companies in creating high-performing vegetable crops. From building a solid foundation for new breeding programs to refining techniques for established lines, my goal is to ensure every project benefits from the right balance of science, practicality and vision. When we cultivate better plants, we support healthier people and a more resilient food supply. That’s why I do what I do.
