Hensall Co-op has entered into a new agreement with Syngenta Seeds high-protein soybean distribution. This agreement, which is effective beginning the 2024 growing season, offers benefits directly to IP soybean growers as well as global end use customers. This agreement will give the entire supply chain the tools needed to achieve a higher level of success as a food ingredient industry. Put simply, it offers a full, value-added supply chain of growing, processing, marketing, and distributing Syngenta high-protein soybean varieties in conjunction with grower and end-use customer communications, seed forecasting and traceability for farm members and the end-use markets served by Hensall Co-op.
“Moving to this new distribution model will improve the traceability loop while increasing the confidence for our members, growers and overseas clients,” says Brad Chandler, CEO of Hensall Co-op. “Additionally, having more representation and involvement in the entire production cycle will increase the transparency and accountability, strengthening and growing the established high-protein global soybean markets.”
With infrastructure being in place for the start of the 2024 growing season, this agreement will address key areas, including seed supply stability and planning, within the IP soybean industry that will benefit from this licensing move.
“With having distribution control and forecasting completed directly by Hensall Co-op, it allows us to ensure our growers and dealers receive the support and product needed to have a successful planting season,” says Jim Barclay, General Manager of Crop Services with Hensall Co-op.
