Vegetable Seeds
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.
Vegetable Seeds represent 33% of the Group's sales, a total of 510 million Euros for a fiscal year marked by an increase in sales of nearly 8% in a context disturbed by several outside events. Presence on numerous markets throughout the world and the diversity of the portfolio of crops worked on are two of the Division's strengths and explain this remarkable growth.

The Garden Products Division made sales of 82 million Euros, down 5%, and representing 5% of the sales of Groupe Limagrain. It comprises two Business Units: Oxadis and Suttons. Over this past fiscal year, business suffered from unfavorable external economic conditions on its main markets, partially compensated for by regular innovations, the power of its brand images and the breakdown of its activities across Europe.
