“The objective of our research program is to create new grain corn varieties with better performances in terms of yield and earliness to improve the results obtained by the farmer users. We also work specifi cally on the industrial value of corn in Europe. This means breeding future varieties with superior production capacity for meal, hominies or starch. They contribute to the performance of the chains set up in Auvergne and the farms involved as well. Growing needs require greater capacities for production than what Auvergne can supply alone. In this way our varieties are being used today in other regions of France, and in Hungary too, and through their specifi c capacities they are contributing to the dynamism of local agriculture.” |
