Production Sembec is proud to announce that, thanks to a grant from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food of Quebec (MAPAQ), we have introduced an innovative technology in our hydroponic greenhouses, in collaboration with a partner company from Tasmania. This technological advancement, a result of international expertise, enables us to double the production of nuclear tubers (TNU), furthering our commitment to supply high-quality seed potatoes in greater quantities.
Our MAPAQ expert advisor, Mr. Benido Claude Davy BELEM, recently visited the completed facilities. Production will begin in February 2025, strengthening Sembec’s position as a leader in the production of Pre-Elite, Elite 1, and Elite 2 seed potatoes.
This investment, made possible by international collaboration, underscores our commitment to remaining at the forefront of innovation, better serving our clients, and supporting the agricultural industry.
