Over the last six weeks, members of five Canadian seed organizations have voted on an amalgamation proposal to become one new national seed organization, Seeds Canada.
The Canadian Seed Growers’ Association, did not vote in favour of the amalgamation.
Those in favour were the Canadian Plant Technology Agency; the Commercial Seed Analysts Association of Canada; the Canadian Seed Institute; and the Canadian Seed Trade Association.
Without a unanimous decision, the boards of each organization will reconvene to determine the next steps.
An update on this matter is anticipated by the middle of September.
