Boreal Plant Breeding

Boreal Plant Breeding Ltd is a prominent Finnish company specialized in the development and research of plant varieties adapted to Northern growing conditions.

The company focuses on a comprehensive breeding program that encompasses a wide variety of field crops, forage grasses, and technical crops tailored for sustainable farming. By integrating advanced breeding technologies with traditional selection methods, Boreal Plant Breeding consistently maintains a strong reputation for developing resilient, high-performing varieties that excel in northern latitudes.
