In R&D
SESVanderHave continuously invests in research programs that enable us to provide tailor-made solutions.
32% of SESVanderHave's 600 employees work in our Research and Development (R&D) department.
In addition, SESVanderHave invests more than 18% of its annual revenues in R&D.
The primary objective is to develop new varieties, with:
- even higher seed quality
- even higher yield potential
- improved defence systems against environmental stress
- even greater resistance to diseases
Every year, we test 12,000 new genotypes.
Every year, we sow a million new plants in those test fields.
In our factories
Half of SESVanderHave's employees work in one of our four seed processing factories. They are located in Tienen (Belgium), Kiev (Ukraine), Calignac (France) and Alexeyevka (Russia). Processing encompasses various stages, including cleaning, pelleting, coating and packaging. Every seed that leaves our factories is the result of SESVanderHave's in-depth quality and expertise.
