Certified seed gives crops the best start

Vigorous seed is the foundation of strong growth and excellent yields. In Finland, only certified seed — officially inspected and approved — may be marketed as seed for sowing.

Certified seed:

  • Is produced from varieties whose cultivation characteristics have been examined in official trials in Finland
  • Is approved by the national Variety Board
  • Is carefully inspected and meets strict quality requirements

Certification guarantees seed quality – it ensures that the seed lot is pure, viable and ready to deliver the best possible yield.

Find your BOR retailer

Certified Boreal seed is distributed via retailers and partners. Farmers are welcome to contact Boreal directly to inquire about availability and variety options.
