Complementary activities

Ever since the creation of the Co-operative, Field Seeds have always been very much part of Limagrain's historical core business. The activity is organized according to the main markets. Limagrain Europe, created in 2003, holds leading positions in Europe. In North America, AgReliant Genetics, a joint venture created in 2000 with the German seeds company KWS, holds 4th position on the corn seed market for the United States. Limagrain Asia is particularly interested in the markets of China and India, and Limagrain South America has dedicated markets too. Finally, Limagrain Cereal Seeds, from its base in North America, is developing Limagrain's wheat strategy outside Europe.

In 1975, with the arrival of Vilmorin, consolidated over the years by numerous other acquisitions, Limagrain chose to make Vegetable Seeds a major activity for the Group.

Today the Vegetable Seeds Division mainly targets professional markets. It provides them with vegetable seeds with high added value and is world No. 2 on this market. Seeds activities intended for the consumer market are run by the Garden Products Division.

For Limagrain, the Cereal Products activity, including Bakery Products and Cereal Ingredients, is a fundamental outlet for the valorization of the agricultural production of its members.

With Jacquet-Brossard, Limagrain works right to the end of the wheat chain, creating a link between the farmer and the baker. The No. 3 in France for bakery-viennoiserie-pastries proposes a very rich range of products to consumers and professional operators.

With Limagrain Céréales Ingrédients (LCI), the Group continues to affirm the importance of controlling germplasm and industrial
transformation processes to valorize cereal qualities. LCI meets the requirements of processors and industrialists and the expectations of consumers. LCI is the European leader for functional flours.
