The Royal Barenbrug Group of the Netherlands and
Oseva Uni a.s. of the Czech
Republic entered into a joint breeding and marketing agreement
in grass and legumes. The co-operation will lead to a better
competitive position for both companies in the continental
climate regions throughout the world.
Barenbrug will exclusively test, produce and market new grass
and legume varieties developed by Oseva Uni at a global level.
Oseva Uni will do the same with Barenbrug varieties in the Czech
and Slovak Republic. In addition, Barenbrug and Oseva will
extensively exchange plant material and breeding methods in
order to develop even further improved varieties.
"This joint breeding is truly unique and will further strengthen
our global germplasm pool to support our leadership position in
grasses and legumes" explains Stefan van der Heijden, Research
Director of Barenbrug. "Many exciting new varieties for the
Central European markets will become available in the years to
come".
Based in Choceň, Czech Republic, Oseva Uni a.s. is one of the
largest breeding and marketing companies in Central Europe. The
plant breeding program is focused on forage and amenity grasses
and clover species.
