 PROFILE
Seminis doesn't put up with any bad seeds. A publicly traded subsidiary of Mexican agricultural giant Savia, Seminis is the world's largest producer of fruit and vegetable seeds, with about 6,000 seed varieties. Some of its seeds are genetically engineered to be disease and insect resistant; some are plain old hybrids. The company sells seeds (under primary brands Asgrow, Petoseed, and Royal Sluis) in more than 120 countries. Formed in 1994, Seminis has grown by acquiring other seed companies. Seminis CEO Alfonso Romo Garza (CEO to Savia as well) owns about 70% of company stock but controls 85% of its voting power.
