genetics to meet the challenges of present-day

program, which enabled it to develop its own proprietary soybean
varieties. Today, that program is among the top performing in
Canada.

than ever.

Headquartered in Québec, Prograin remains dedicated to
supporting our local agriculture. When you buy local, you are
getting products that have been specially developed to meet
the local area’s agronomic realities and climate conditions.

A sure value that offers you excellent business prospects, no
