RAGT has completed the acquisition of the Deleplanque Group, including its Strube and Van Waveren entities, a key player in the sugar beet and vegetable seed sectors.
This acquisition will make sugar beet a ‘top three’ crop in the seeds portfolio with the combined synergies between the two groups allowing them to better serve farmers and agri-food supply chains alike.
“The acquisition of the Deleplanque Group aligns fully with the strategy we share with our shareholders to continue the development of our Group. It supports our growth ambitions and significantly strengthens our multi-species seed breeding activity, clearly positioning us as a key player in the sector,” says Laurent Guerreiro, president of the RAGT Group.
The teams are reportedly ready to work together, with plans to unveil further details later in the year.
