“Afumati is one of the most important production facilities we have in the entire region and has grown a lot because we have invested a lot in the last few years,” Andre Negreiros, business leader for Central and Eastern Europe of Corteva Agriscience, told ZF.
Last season the company grew corn for seeds on about 11,000 hectares and processed more than 2 million units of corn and sunflower seeds. The company processes about 42 different types of corn and sunflower hybrids, the volume is huge and there is still room for growth, the official added.
The Afumati facility also produces soy and rape seeds for oil, he said.
The seeds go to Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, South Korea, Lithuania, Moldova, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Serbia, Türkiye and Ukraine.
