Bayer Opens European Oilseed Processing Center To Help Drive Seeds Business

Bayer CropScience‘s new EUR 15 million ($16.8 million) European Oilseed Processing Center in the German town of Monheim substantially expands its ability to offer oilseed rape growers a fully integrated system from field production to delivery.

“We see future growth driven by increasing and sustained demand from customers in many countries for improved oilseed rape hybrid varieties,” said Marc Reichardt, Bayer CropScience’s Head of Agricultural Commercial Operations, at the inauguration ceremony. “This investment is good news not only for growers and industrial customers but also for our Monheim site and the company’s global seeds infrastructure.”

According to Bayer CropScience, the new oilseed processing center will be responsible for receiving raw seeds from carefully chosen seed multipliers across Europe, fine cleaning and certifying the seed, and calibrating and treating it using state-of-the-art seed machinery.

“Oilseed rape is an attractive cash crop for European growers. And we are a leading expert when it comes to strong and healthy oilseed plants, which lead to superior yields and high nutritional value,” added Frank Terhorst, Global Head of Bayer CropScience’s Seeds Business Unit. “The new oilseed processing center will be the central logistical point to deliver high-quality hybrid seeds to customers across the European and African region.”
