Every day we work to provide growers with not just the best, most consistent vegetable seeds with outstanding growing potential, but confidence as well. That’s why we say that our seeds are better with every generation.
Seminis, Inc. is founded by the merger of the vegetable division of Asgrow Seed Co. (owned by ELM), Petoseed Co. Inc. (owned by Geo J. Ball) and Royal Sluis (owned by Geo J. Ball). Savia SA. de C.V. (formerly known as Empresas la Moderna, S.A. or “ELM”) owns 60% of Seminis Inc. Geo J. Ball owns the other 40% of Seminis.
It takes our vegetable breeders between eight and twelve years to develop and commercialize a new vegetable seed variety. Our dedication to a time intensive process of testing and re-testing helps ensure that we deliver reliable seed to our customers and end consumers. Obtaining patents and plant variety protection (PVP) certificates are ways for us to protect our time, ideas and investment spent to develop those products.

I depend on my sales rep. I see my Seminis rep more than any other rep, and I use him as the main source for information.

I don’t have to worry about the plants not coming up and I don’t have to worry about them being susceptible to some of the challenges we have because I know that there’s a background there of solid research and personal collaboration with the representative from Seminis.
