Euralis Semences announced the signing of a merger agreement with Caussade Semences Group on 19 June 2020.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n

Discussions on this strategic operation had already begun in July 2019. They have resulted in Euralis Semences acquiring a majority stake (80%) in Caussade Semences Group under the terms of an agreement which will take effect from 1st September 2020. The French, Romanian, Russian and Ukrainian competition authorities, which were notified of the merger, have given a positive opinion on the operation.<\/p>\n

The new entity will position itself as a key European seeds player. The group will become one of the top 10 global field seeds companies, with leading positions in certain crops, behind big names such as Monsanto, Corteva and Syngenta.<\/p>\n

The new entity will have a total turnover of more than 350 million euros and will have 2,000 employees, 45,000 hectares and 8 production centers in France, Romania, Ukraine, Spain and soon in Russia, as well as 17 research stations in Europe. It will offer a wide multi-species offer: corn, sunflower, rapeseed, straw cereals, fodder cereals, soybean, sorghum, pulses, etc.<\/p>\n

This merger will enable the new entity to maintain a critical mass, accelerate its development in new territories, particularly in Eastern Europe, and invest in research and development, investments that already amount to 31 million euros per year for both entities.<\/p>\n
