Corteva Agriscience has begun growing winter rapeseed of the Pioneer® brand in Ukraine. In this way, the company aims to expand Ukrainian farmers' access to seeds of advanced Pioneer® genetics, grown in Ukraine's climatic conditions.
This is stated in the company's announcement.
The first 100 hectares of seeds have already been sown in two districts of the Poltava region and in the Khmelnytskyi region. This approach allows the company to diversify agricultural risks, adapt to the climatic conditions of the regions, and ensure the stability of seed production.
The decision to introduce locally produced rapeseed seeds into the company's portfolio was supported by an important step in the development of the country's agricultural sector. In June 2025, the Council of the European Union decided to recognize the equivalence of Ukraine's certification system for rapeseed, beet, sunflower, and soybean seeds to the requirements of EU legislation. This opens up new prospects for Ukrainian farmers to integrate into the European market.
