Syngenta announces opening of Seedcare Institute Singapore

Syngenta recently announced the opening of the Seedcare Institute Singapore, dedicated to serving the South and South East Asian markets. The 12th institute in Syngenta’s global network, and second in the Asia-Pacific region, will be a center of excellence for seed treatment technology, and services including product application, quality management, training, seed science and product support. 

 

The Seedcare Institute Singapore, located at the Kendall Lab in Science Park II, will bring comprehensive technology and expertise to growers, seed companies and channel partners across the region. The center will support local market needs and help business partners treating seeds to improve their operations, solve issues, understand regulatory requirements and increase the performance of their seeds to deliver optimal yields. 

 

“Seedcare is the leading provider of seed treatments by offering a unique combination of products, application and services,” said Ioana Tudor, Global Head of Seedcare. “This approach enables high quality application of our products and ensures the seed genetic potential is maximized. We are delighted that this new institute will further increase our capabilities in Asia Pacific to support the needs of our customers.”

 

“Helping growers increase yields and produce reliable and high-quality crops is at the forefront of our ambition in Asia Pacific,” said Tina Lawton, Regional Director APAC. “We believe technology is key to enabling this and having the Seedcare Institute Singapore will enable us to expand the range of solutions for growers in overcoming their challenges on the farm.  It also supports our commitments under The Good Growth Plan.” 

 

“Syngenta’s choice of Singapore as a strategic partner is reflective of our ability to deliver solutions to a growing and increasingly complex agricultural sector across the region,” said Cindy Koh, Director, Energy & Chemicals, Singapore Economic Development Board. “This also demonstrates Singapore’s suitability as a neutral location to centralize regional customization activities. We are excited to work with Syngenta to continue charting and implementing their regional growth strategy.”
