Plant Products winds down distribution of Syngenta greenhouse vegetable seeds

Syngenta Vegetable Seeds Global and Plant Products have concluded their 15-year North American greenhouse vegetable seed supply and distribution partnership.

Beginning in February 2024, Plant Products will no longer be involved in those activities -- new product development, demand creation, technical support, complaint management, logistics, import permitting, or accounts receivable -- in support of the Syngenta greenhouse vegetable seed business in Canada or the United States. But the company is actively pursuing a partnership agreement with other greenhouse vegetable seed suppliers in the future.

“We’re very proud of the results Plant Products has produced on behalf of Syngenta since our collaboration began,” noted Chris Stickles, president of Plant Products. “Together, we were able to bring value to and support Plant Products’ customers.”

Plant Products remains committed to participating in the greenhouse vegetable seeds business going forward.

Video: Canada reaches tariff deal with China on canola, electric vehicles

Canada has reached a deal with China to increase the limit of imports of Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) in exchange for Beijing dropping tariffs on agricultural products, such as canola, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Friday.

The tariffs on canola are dropping to 15 per cent starting on March 1. In exchange for dropping duties on agricultural products, Carney is allowing 49,000 Chinese EVs to be exported to Canada.

Carney described it as a “preliminary but landmark” agreement to remove trade barriers and reduce tariffs, part of a broader strategic partnership with China.
