A SPECIFIC
DEVELOPMENT MODEL
Vilmorin & Cie focuses its development on a specific economic model,
with three major, singular advantages:
A single core
business of seed
An organization
very close to its markets
A long-term vision
of its development
This development model draws strength from the fact it adheres to three founding values:
progress, perseverance and cooperation. These values, shared with Limagrain,
its reference shareholder, are related to its historical expertise in plant improvement since 1743,
and its anchorage in the world of agriculture.
A SINGLE CORE BUSINESS: SEEDS
Vilmorin & Cie is a pure play seed company, not involved in agro-chemicals.
Actively engaged throughout the full value chain, from research to distribution, Vilmorin & Cie controls all the stages in the seed
business, proposing high quality seeds, perfectly adapted to each of its target markets.
