About Seminis

 

Seminis is the world's largest vegetable seed company. Our seeds become the vegetables and fruits enjoyed every day by consumers all over the globe.
Using traditional plant breeding techniques and modern science, we develop innovative types of vegetables and fruits that offer greater nutrition, convenience and have better flavor. We also lead in the development of hybrids that provide farmers natural alternatives to chemical pest controls and other yield-enhancing traits.
