Jensen Seeds has been looking for opportunities to grow seeds on other species in countries with a suitable climate. Access to production in central and southern France will provide new opportunities for seed production of a number of interesting species.
The acquisition of Astera Seed is in line with our development strategy in Jensen Seeds, where we want to strengthen the partnership with our customers and produce seeds on a larger pallet of species. That is why we need production access to the best seed breeding areas, and with Astera Seed we can offer production of species in France that we cannot produce under more northern sky regions.
