East West Seeds Corp (EWSC) shares overview of Hybrid Vegetable Seed Outlook at Agribiotech & Seed Market Conference
Posted by admin on September 12, 2010
East West Seeds Corp. (EWSC), a pioneering hybrid vegetable seed producer, has opened an P80 million research and development (R&D) facility in Lipa, Batangas which is the most sophisticated privately-owned R&D facility in the Philippines as it aims to keep its leadership in the hybrid vegetable seed sector.
The plant was opened early this month and is actually an expansion of its original R&D facility in Lipa city, Batangas which sits on a 13-hectare land. Its other R&D Center is located in Bulacan.
“We invested in it through internally general rated fund and some financing so we can improve our breeding. (I think) there is no facility like this yet in the Philippines. And what we have in the Philippines now is comparable to what we have in Thailand now,” said Ric M. Reyes, EWSC product manager, in an interview.
EWSC, a multinational company also present in Vietnam, India, Indonesia, and China, has its headquarters in Thailand.
