Plant Products winds down distribution of Syngenta greenhouse vegetable seeds

Syngenta Vegetable Seeds Global and Plant Products have concluded their 15-year North American greenhouse vegetable seed supply and distribution partnership.

Beginning in February 2024, Plant Products will no longer be involved in those activities -- new product development, demand creation, technical support, complaint management, logistics, import permitting, or accounts receivable -- in support of the Syngenta greenhouse vegetable seed business in Canada or the United States. But the company is actively pursuing a partnership agreement with other greenhouse vegetable seed suppliers in the future.

“We’re very proud of the results Plant Products has produced on behalf of Syngenta since our collaboration began,” noted Chris Stickles, president of Plant Products. “Together, we were able to bring value to and support Plant Products’ customers.”

Plant Products remains committed to participating in the greenhouse vegetable seeds business going forward.

Gowan Canada is partnering with Geco Strategic Weed Management to help Canadian growers take a strategic approach to weed control through data-driven prediction and planning.

Geco’s technology uses data and AI to map where weeds have been over the past five years and predict where patches are likely to emerge next season. These insights allow farms and retailers to plan ahead and target actions in the most challenging areas.

“Our technology enables the question: if you could know where your most problematic patches are and where they are spreading to, what could you do differently? That’s what our technology makes possible,” said Greg Stewart, CEO of Geco. “Many of our farms are already using our prescriptions along with Gowan products, so this collaboration is a natural next step.”
