Caussade Semences Group
Family-owned French seed group specializing in sunflower, corn, sorghum and proteinaceous crops, with a dedicated portfolio for Southern European and North African arable production systems.
Caussade Semences Group is a French privately owned seed company founded in 1897 in Caussade, Tarn-et-Garonne, in the southwest of France. The company specializes in the breeding and distribution of hybrid seed varieties for sunflower, corn, grain sorghum, forage sorghum, sorghum-sudan crosses, field bean, pea and rapeseed. Caussade's core geographic focus is the warm and semi-arid production zones of Southern France, Spain, Romania, Hungary, Turkey and North Africa, where sunflower and sorghum are important commercial crops. Breeding stations are located in France and Spain. The company has developed particular expertise in drought-tolerant sunflower varieties suited to rain-fed conditions in southern Europe and North Africa. Distribution channels include French cooperative agri-stores, national seed dealers and independent distribution partners in Eastern Europe, Turkey and the Maghreb. Caussade Semences also supplies vegetable and flower seeds through a dedicated consumer and professional garden segment. The family ownership structure has allowed the group to maintain a focused seed-only strategy without diversification into agrochemicals or crop services.
