Our mission is to provide quality soybeans and unparalleled customer service in the global market while respecting our customers, our employees, our partners and our community.
Produce the best quality soy
In 1987, Ceresco set out fully determined to conquer the world. At the time, company management knew perfectly well that producing the best quality soy was crucial to establishing close relations with clients and meet all their needs.
To entice Asian and European clients, Ceresco and its partners invested much time and effort to create new Identity Preserved soybean varieties adapted to the eating habits of their target populations.
Building on progress achieved in genetic selection, Ceresco created varieties with specific characteristics:
- Disease resistant
- Protein content between 40% and 52%
- Rich in oil and sugar
- Grain size: very small (< 5.5 mm) to very large (> 7 to 14 mm)
Through its own research and with the help of some privileged partnerships, Ceresco is proud to offer some of the best Non-GMO varieties in the world. Ceresco tests countless old and new genetic crossings every year to be sure they have varieties both producers and export customers want.
If either of these 2 parties are not satisfied, the variety will not stand the test of time. Producers want what grows well in their fields, customers want to buy what processes well for them, Ceresco’s job is to find what works for both. This is what they do well, and this is what makes Ceresco leaders in Non-GMO and Organic soybeans in Canada.
