Seed Production

Instrumental to Pacific Seeds success in the hybrid seed industry has been its commitment and ability to consistently produce high quality seed under a range of seasonal conditions. By adopting and setting industry best practices and utilising proven technological advances, Pacific Seeds has established itself and its seed grower partners as industry leaders. 

The production team has selected two major seed production sites, Kununurra, situated on the Ord River, Western Australia and the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area (MIA) in southern NSW. These locations offer a number of agronomic advantages including isolation from many pests and diseases and a relatively constant day length which assists with out of season production.

Seed crops are produced in the Western Australian wheat belt, Northern NSW, South West Queensland and Far North Queensland. The use of these geographically diverse areas allows for the spread of planting throughout different times of the year. This effectively allows for adjustment to be made to targets as outcomes of current production and marketing plans develop.
