Sugar Beet

Germains began exploring opportunities to maximise the potential of  sugar beet for over a half century. We were the first to revolutionise how the sugar beet was planted via a pellet technology and our indepth knowledge of the sugar industry has allowed us to invest in and grow our portfolio. Our industry-leading sugar beet seed technologies offer many benefits to growers around the world. Find out more about our range or send us a message.

Tessa Seymour

EU Commercial Sugar Beet Manager

I joined Germains in September 2015, with a steep learning curve ahead of me, I set about meeting as many growers and sugar beet experts.  I have loved every minute of getting to know our Sugar beet growers and industry partners, who are so supportive and encouraging.

We have welcomed close to 500 growers and industry partners into our factory and R&D site in taking steps to demonstrate a more collaborative partnership.

 

Kate Lindley

Account Manager

I have been working with Germains for almost 2 years now and have really enjoyed working as part of an organisation that is passionate about creating new treatments to support the UK Sugar Beet industry.

I very much look forwards to continuing to meet growers and industry partners to together back British Sugar Beet farming.
