Sakata Seed America is continuing its infrastructure expansion with the purchase of 35 acres of land in Culiacan, Mexico. Sakata Seed has been leasing the land and facilities for the past three years. Significant growth in the region led to the decision to secure a permanent location in Culiacan, home to many global seed breeding companies.
According to Sakata, this acquisition of land and newly expanded infrastructure will improve the company’s breeding, sales, marketing and production efforts in the growing Mexico market. The site will be called the Culiacan Innovation Center and will serve as a central research and development (R&D) hub for Sakata in Mexico and Central America and allow for further collaboration with the company’s four other R&D stations in North America.
