Jim Udsen - Agristar do Brasil Ltda.

April 2003

How do you see Agristar evolving in the next 5 to 10 years?
For the future, Agristar’s focus will continue to be the vegetable seed business. Our plan is to become the best, most innovative, full line vegetable seed company in the market.

For the seedsman with global vision, the sky is the limit. While many seed companies are following the trend to merge, we see this as becoming less cost efficient and less focused on our main job of providing the best possible products and services for our customers and growers.

One of our primary strategies will be to very actively pursue partnerships with like-minded, independent, aggressive companies around the world, as well as in Brazil to complement our breeding program for Brazilian products. We will concentrate on forming long-term working relationships, based both on brand and individual products. With these partners, we will have access to top-of-the-line genetics that will enable us to compete with anything that is on the market. Working hand in hand with our suppliers, we have developed a very aggressive trialing program that gets results. Our IT department has developed an in-house software program that catalogs all samples and results, keeping our suppliers informed continuously of the progress, future and development of their genetic material.
