The paper presents two new tomato cultivars for processing - Vidra 533 and Romec 554 j (the former mid-early, the latter mid-late), obtained as results of the breedings carried out at the Research Institute for Vegetable and Flower Growing Vidra. Both cultivars have a determinate growth, the plants forming well developed bushes. Vidra 533 yields 60-90 t/ha and Romec 554 j yields up to 105 t/ha; they have alongated and respectively ovoid fruits; the fruits are firm, resistant to cracking; they are deep coloured, with a high dry matter content (up to 5.7 % and 6.0%, respectively), fit for processing. The fruits are ripening simultaneously, being thus for overall harvest. Romec 554 j has a fruit peduncle of the j type, which prevents losses of dry matter during transport, as well as degradation of the end-product quality by the chlorophyll pigments in the stem and calix. These cultivars have a good germinating ability at low temperatures and have good levels of resistance to the bacterial and fungal diseases that affect the fruit quality. The two cultivars can successfully contribute to the enrichment and diversification of the range of tomato cultivars for processing
