Following on from upstream Agriconfiance® farming commitment, completed in 1997, Maïsadour Semences extended quality management to the supply chain for commercial maize and sunflower seed in 2004.

In 2007, certification was further extended to include manufacturing.

This supply chain is the customer of hybrid breeding and in-field production. The service provided involves delivery of commercially packaged seeds consistent with customer requirements.

The implementation of a quality management process is the expression of Maïsadour Semences' desire for continued improvement of our service to distributor customers.

The process, which covers everything from the manufacture of seed doses to the availability of processed commercial seed and final delivery to the customer. It involves monitoring each key stage using indicators and a process sheet which provides a dynamic synthesis of all the data related to the stage in question.
