Company Description

At Syngenta Vegetable Seeds, we’re putting growers at the heart of all that we do. Our energies are focused on creating solutions that help them get more out of their crops, now and in the future. A commitment in every seed. We do this by protecting seed, bulb, or small plant quality from the start to enable growers to achieve the highest yield potential in their operations; continuously investing in R&D to bring cutting-edge innovations to the market; and striving to make a real-world difference through more sustainable practices on farms, in shipping, right down to the grocery store.
