S&W Seed, Bioceres In JV To Develop Aalfalfa Varieties

(RTTNews) - S&W Seed Co (SANW), a U.S.-based alfalfa seed producer, and Bioceres S.A., an agricultural biotechnology company owned by one of the largest groups of farmers in Latin America, said Wednesday they will create a Joint Venture to develop and commercialize biotech-enhanced alfalfa varieties.

The new seed JV combines S&W's premium genetics with Bioceres "next generation" R&D capabilities. Additionally, the two JV partners will leverage each other's distribution capabilities and relationships to sell S&W's elite alfalfa varieties in Argentina directly to local dealers and farmers.
