“It was our best year so far. We significantly increased our sunflower and soy market share by 4% and by 1% for corn. Our target is to become market leaders on the rapeseed segment in three years,” said Jean Ionescu, chief executive officer of DuPont Pioneer Romania.
“The good results so far are because of our products and sales team of about 75 people in all counties.”
The US multinational owns two companies in Romania, Pioneer Hi-Bred Romania (sales) and Pioneer Hi-Bred Seeds Agro (production and research), which have about 150 permanent employees and 300 seasonal employees, its officials said.
DuPont Pioneer is the market leader of the corn and sunflower seeds segment and ranks second on the rapeseed segment in Romania, with market shares ranging from 32% to 65%, Jean Ionescu added.
