SGM Seeds has been named the Best Seed Manufacturer in Latin America 2026 by Agribusiness Review LatAm. Discover the technical, scientific, and sustainable pillars that position the company as a global reference in tropical pasture seeds.

A Recognition That Consolidates SGM Seeds’ Leadership in Latin America

SGM Seeds has been officially named Top Pasture Seeds Manufacturer in Latin America 2026 by Agribusiness Review LatAm, one of the most respected agribusiness publications on the continent.

This recognition goes far beyond an institutional award. It reflects years of investment in science, technology, pasture management, and close connection with farmers, translating technical knowledge into practical results for livestock producers in Brazil and abroad.

From Science to the Field: The DNA of SGM Seeds

Driven by decades of agricultural research in Brazil — strongly influenced by the country’s leadership in tropical pasture science — SGM Seeds has become a global reference in tropical pasture seeds.

Today, the company:

• Exports seeds to more than 23 countries

• Operates through an extensive distributor network across Brazil and Latin America

• Connects scientific research, industrial production, and on-farm application

According to João Antônio Fagundes Neto, CEO of SGM Seeds, the company’s key differentiator lies in turning science into real productivity:

“Our mission is to translate technical knowledge of pastures into measurable results on the farm, always respecting local soil, climate, and management conditions.”

Why Agribusiness Review LatAm Chose SGM Seeds

The recognition as Best Seed Manufacturer in Latin America 2026 is based on clear, measurable pillars:

🔬 Technical Rigor and Seed Quality

• High standards of purity and vigor

• Individual seed selection processes

• Validation under different soil and climate conditions

🌱 Focus on Tropical Pastures

• Mastery of tropical agriculture

• Cultivars adapted to challenging environments

• Fast, uniform, and long-lasting pasture establishment

📊 Proven Field Performance

In many scenarios where the market recommends 8 to 10 kg of seed per hectare, high-vigor SGM Seeds lots achieve ideal stands with 5 to 6 kg per hectare, maintaining pasture density, quality, and productivity.

This results in:

• Lower input costs

Integrated Production Systems: More Than Just Seeds

SGM Seeds goes beyond seed supply. Its strategy is built on integrated production systems, including:

• Crop–livestock integration (CLI)

• Use of pastures between corn rows

• Rotation with soybeans and forage crops

• Silvopastoral systems with eucalyptus

These systems expand farm revenue windows, improve land-use efficiency, and strengthen long-term sustainability.

Technology, Precision, and Sustainability at the Core

Sustainability is not just a concept — it is an operational practice.

SGM Seeds invests in:

• High-density, highly productive pastures

• Reduced pressure for land expansion

• Compliance with Brazilian environmental regulations

• Precision agriculture technologies using drones

The use of drones allows:

• Uniform seed distribution

• Reduced use of chemical inputs

• Safer and more efficient operations

• Access to advanced technology even for small producers through service models

A Latin American Company with a Global Vision

SGM Seeds’ international presence promotes continuous technical exchange among Latin American countries, strengthening pasture management practices, producer training, and ongoing innovation in tropical forage systems.

This collaborative model was one of the key factors highlighted by Agribusiness Review LatAm, positioning SGM Seeds as a continental reference in pasture seed manufacturing.
