Hazera Seeds Inc., is a fully owned subsidiary of Hazera Genetics Ltd. Incorporated in 1999, the company aims to promote, market and distribute Hazera Genetics products in North and Central America and serve the region's growing customer base.
A multinational organization
Hazera Genetics is active in more than sixty countries worldwide and has at present seven subsidiaries: in Spain, Turkey, Greece, China, Brazil, Mexico and the US. Our global distribution network brings our seeds to market, and is backed by the added value of our support network that shares our in-house experience and knowledge related to growing our varieties with our growers.
We are part of the Limagrain Group of companies – a group composed of seed companies, each of which is a major player in the international seed industry. In addition to allowing us access to new markets, this alliance enables information-sharing and productive collaborations with our sister companies and their own research avenues.
Offering more products to our customers - with new distributions and acquisitions
In the last 2 years Hazera Seeds has started distributing leading varieties by Nickerson Zwaan. The addition of Nickerson's products, such as long day onion and radish varieties, to the HSI basket enables us to offer our customers a wider range and complete product line.
Hazera has also acquired the hybrid short day onion activities of K&B Development LLC, Gilroy (CA), USA. This K&B program is a valuable addition to our existing short day onion program, complements it and and brings new germplasm in yellow, red and white to American short day types. The program constitutes an important basis for the extension of our breeding and commercial activities in the short-day onion segment worldwide.
Another acquisition finalized 2 years ago is of L.S.L Biotechnologies Inc. & L.S.L Plant Science. LLC specializes in the cultivation, production and marketing of long shelf-life tomato varieties, primarily in the North American market. The acquisition of LSL completes and complements Hazera Genetics’ comprehensive line of tomato products
Service is the name of our game
We believe in customer relationships that are ongoing and enduring. We regularly share with growers our experience and data collected about the traits and advantages of our products. We maintain close relations with supermarket chains and market-directing enterprises, to learn of consumer preferences and reactions to innovations, which we then integrate into our breeding programs.
By considering the welfare of growers, consumers and the environment, we set new standards in breeding varieties - with better yields and a wider set of resistances. Yet we always keep in mind that waiting at the end of the long and complex breeding process are the palates and eyes of fresh produce consumers.
