Marketing
PALMELIT-CIRAD® seeds are available for any project site in any oil palm growing zone. Each year, up to 70 million germinated seeds of CIRAD® or partner brands are distributed, either by PalmElit or by its associates/subsidiary/licensees, who produce our planting material as closely as possible to growers.
Seed production is established and closely monitored by PalmElit geneticists via 8 seed gardens in operation today. These seed gardens and their associated mating designs are constantly renewed, as and when our research gives rise to new varieties.
PalmElit and its distribution centres take particular care in preparing, packing and transporting seeds in order to preserve all their physiological qualities.
CIRAD® seed production and supplies are covered by ISO 9001 : 2008 standards to guarantee optimum quality and the maximum satisfaction of all our clients.
