Legend Seeds, an independent seed company in the upper Midwest, and Sevita International, a conventional and food-grade soybean supplier, processor and exporter, have partnered to expand their respective seed offerings in the United States and Eastern Canada.
Under the agreement, Sevita International will distribute and market Legend Seeds branded corn hybrids with a full array of trait technologies through its PROSeeds business in the provinces of Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada. Legend Seeds will bring Sevita International conventional- and food-grade soybean varieties to its trade area in the U.S. where they will be branded Legend Seeds. In addition, Legend Seeds Canada will distribute PROSeeds’ Genuity soybeans in Western Canada.
“Partnering with Sevita International and PROSeeds gives us the opportunity to build our corn business in eastern Canada and bring new soybean products and market opportunities to our U.S. customers,” says Glen Davis, president of Legend Seeds. “Jointly, we will increase our investment in product testing and selection for both corn and soybeans, which will bring value to all of our customers.”
