SEEDS OF SUCCESS

About usWith over 135 years of experience in the development, production and marketing of high yielding vegetable seed varieties, Starke Ayres has established a significant marketing and distribution network that extends from its headquarters in Johannesburg, South Africa, to 25 countries in Africa, and over 55 in the world.

Starke Ayres is committed to research and innovation and is continually working to deliver new, improved vegetable varieties to fulfil the changing requirements of our clients. The company has breeding programmes in tomato, zucchini, butternut, pumpkin, beans, sweet-corn, hubbard squash, scallops and onions.

We not only use the most advanced techniques in our own laboratories but ensure that we collaborate with international partners that do the same. Key objectives include yield potential, disease resistance, and seed quality.

SOWING THE SEEDS OF COMMERCIAL SUCCESS

Starke Ayres supplies a comprehensive range of commonly grown vegetable seeds to the commercial grower. Our product range includes both high quality performance tested hybrids and open-pollinated seed varieties. While many are produced in South Africa, we also collaborate with offshore companies to produce selected varieties.

Both open pollinated varieties and Starke Ayres’ exclusive range of proprietary varieties are available to our global customers. Consult your area specialist for the range of products available in your country.

SOWING THE SEEDS OF FUTURE SUCCESS

Starke Ayres has long recognised the importance of research and development and is actively working to deliver new and improved vegetable seed varieties. The company initiated breeding programmes in tomato, pumpkins and beans in 1995 and commercialised its first proprietary varieties in 2000. Since then we have established breeding programmes in squash (zucchini and butternut), sweetcorn, hot peppers, hubbard squash, scallops and onions.

In our research laboratories the key objectives include improving yield potential, increasing adaptability and disease resistance, ensuring high germination and seedling vigour, creating seeds that yield vegetables of the size, shape, flavour and colour that the market demands.
