THE PROMISE OUR FARMERS DESERVE: 
ACSEN AGRISCIENCE EARNS ISTA 
ACCREDITATION!
The Seed Testing Laboratory (IN23) at ACSEN 
Agriscience has been accredited by ISTA. The 
accreditation was awarded in April this year 
following an extensive audit conducted in 
January 2026 at ACSEN’s laboratory by ISTA 
auditors. Driven by its purpose of delivering 
‘more profit per acre for more and more farmers, 
year after year’, ACSEN has consistently 
upheld its quality systems to the highest global 
standards, and ISTA accreditation is the world’s 
recognition of that commitment.
ISTA accreditation is not merely a certification 
milestone. It is a validation of ACSEN’s 
unwavering commitment to ensuring 
that science and quality, pursued without 
compromise, make farming a happier and 
more profitable profession. For our farmers, our 
partners, and every acre we touch, this is what 
quality looks like.
ACSEN’s Seed Testing Laboratory is now 
fully accredited under the ISTA Seed 
Testing Laboratory Accreditation Standard, 
confirming that every test result it issues meets

internationally accepted benchmarks for 
accuracy, consistency and reliability. 
This means that when ACSEN certifies a seed lot, 
that certification carries the same weight and 
credibility as that of any accredited laboratory 
anywhere in the world.
This accreditation is the result of a focused 
and disciplined journey built on years of 
investment in passionate people, state-of-the-art 
infrastructure and stringent processes. ACSEN’s 
R&D backbone spans 95 acres of research land, 
27 satellite R&D centres, NABL accredited 
laboratories across India, and world-class seed 
processing and packaging facilities in Gurgaon 
and Bengaluru.
For ACSEN’s global seed trade partners, ISTA 
certified results mean smoother acceptance 
across international markets, stronger mutual 
trust, and a quality assurance partner they can 
confidently stand behind.
Everything ACSEN does, its science, systems and 
quality standards, exist for one reason: to help 
farmers grow more, earn more and find genuine 
joy in their profession. ISTA accreditation is proof 
of that commitment, backed by global standards 
and grounded in the fields where farmers work 
every day. For our farmers, our partners and 
every acre we are privileged to serve, together, 
we grow.
