Limagrain in India: a strong presence through cooperation with Avesthagen

Our aim is to accelerate the development of new growth centers, which have already been opened in India by the vegetable subsidiaries, to embark on biotechnological research programs, particularly in terms of transgenic plant (GMO) field experiments and to seize opportunities for the development of the Group’s Ingredients division.

Villoo Morawala Patell, CEO and founder of Avesthagen:

“This cooperation agreement with Limagrain will enable Avesthagen to develop in the seed and ingredients sector by benefiting from the experience of a group with international dimensions, a strong commitment to research and a close link with its farmers. I am convinced that the combination of Limagrain’s and Avesthagen’s skills will allow us to build a very competitive seed industry in India and that Avesthagen’s technologies will offer Limagrain and its partners the opportunities it needs to improve their technologies profitably”.
