Climate-Smart Seed Production Center

The Center operates at the Biligrain seed plant. We establish demonstration and test plots of cereal varieties from the world's leading breeders and grow them under identical field conditions of the region. This shows us which varieties deliver consistent yield and grain quality in a changing climate — and those are the ones we select for seed production.
