"Ukraine’s vast potential to feed a hungry world has long been held back by outdated farming techniques – including the use of poor quality seeds – which keep agricultural yields far below those of EU countries.
But now DuPont is doing something about the problem – at least as far as seeds as concerned. The US chemicals group this month launched a $40m seed plant in Poltava region to support the increasing domestic demand for quality maize, sunflower and oilseed rape hybrid seeds.
Already a market leader in Ukraine through imported seeds, Dupont says the new plant, producing seeds to be sold under its Pioneer brand, will add a new dimension to its business."
