SEED
Quality Assurance
The seed sector is an evolving sector. More and more seeds are the privileged vehicle of new technologies and the source of the identity of the varieties in which we place our trust. It is imperative to put proven quality control in place, to ensure full integrity.
At all stages of production, our varieties are systematically inspected, sampled, analyzed and evaluated on the germination level. At all these stages, they must meet the standards established by the Seeds Act and its Regulations of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). The Canadian Seed Grower Association sets the rules for field production and issue crop certificates. Subsequently, the Canadian Seed Institute (CSI) regulates the operation of Registered Seed Establishments for the purposes of the Seed Act and its regulations. It’s the Commercial Seed Analysts Association of Canada, who oversees the work of seed analysts. Synagri is directly involved through all these associations in order to reach the highest quality standards.
A quality seed is the first pledge of a good harvest.
