This edition of Seed World LATAM features on its cover Ignacio Bartolomé, CEO of GDM, a leading South American seed company. The cover article delves into Bartolomé’s vision and strategies for propelling a South American company into the top five seed companies in the world. This includes discussions on innovation, market expansion and leadership within the seed industry.
This edition also explores several issues pertinent to the Latin American seed sector, addressing phytosanitary challenges in the region, the development and consolidation of markets in countries such as Chile and Uruguay, and broader issues such as leadership, human capital and the opportunities presented by new technologies. In addition, the magazine offers a summary of the events held at the end of September in Lima (Peru), including the SAA board of directos’ meeting, technical group sessions, the inaugural Peruvian national seed forum and a meeting between the SAA, the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) and regional regulators.
The SAA has partnered with the Seed World Group to publish Seed World LATAM. This collaboration aims to promote the development, commercialization and free movement of seeds throughout the region, as well as to advocate for science-based legislation and regulatory frameworks. Seed World LATAM was created in response to the desire of the Latin American seed industry to have a platform to disseminate and debate priority issues from a regional perspective.
The magazine encourages the participation of national seed associations, companies, institutions and universities from all over the American continent. Those interested in contributing can contact the SAA at info@saaseed.org.
