Hybrid Seed Production in Chile

Counter-season advantage · GSPP certified · Central Valley

Why Contract Hybrid Seed Production in Chile?

Chile's Central Valley offers unmatched natural conditions for hybrid seed multiplication: a Mediterranean climate with dry summers, natural geographic isolation in the Curacaví valley, low disease pressure and strong phytosanitary infrastructure. Maraseed has operated in this environment since 1992, producing certified hybrid seeds for international seed companies.

Our GSPP-certified production model covers hybrid tomato, cucumber, pepper, lettuce, melon and endive. Each project is managed by in-house agronomists with full traceability and lot-level quality reporting.

For Northern Hemisphere companies, Chile's counter-season means fresh seed is available in Q1–Q2 — when European and North American fields are dormant. This supply chain advantage is critical for companies managing annual variety release schedules.
