Seminis is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Monsanto Co.

Seminis seeds become the vegetables enjoyed every day by consumers all over the globe.

Using traditional plant breeding techniques and modern science, we develop innovative types of vegetables that offer greater nutrition, convenience and better flavor. We also lead in the development of hybrids that provide farmers natural alternatives to chemical pest controls and other yield-enhancing traits.

It's amazing to consider that improving human health, promoting environmental stewardship and fostering greater economic growth for the agricultural community can all start with something as small as a seed.

Protected Culture

Whereas Seminis is Monsanto’s global vegetable seeds brand for open field crops (melon, broccoli, squash, beans, lettuces, spinach, onions…), the De Ruiter Seeds brand is focused on protected culture. De Ruiter Seeds provide product for greenhouse cultivation of tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet peppers and eggplant. Go to www.deruiterseeds.com
