Our History
Proto Seed was founded in 2000 as an associated partner of Seminis Vegetable Inc. by taking distributorship of Bruinsma Seeds,founded in 1934 in the Netherlands.The company especially concentrated on cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, melon, squash and lettuce as greenhouse products and has launched our first hybrid cucumber for greenhouse in Turkey.Later on ,the company has been purchased by Monsanto Company and we incessantly continued to work with this company for 17 years.Today we are offerings our breeding varieties to our customers thanks to our intense R&D activities for years.
Since the year of 2009,we are constantly investing in our R & D program in terms of both budget and human resources.We gradually commercialized our hybrid product of our breeding studies by making demonstration trials in Turkey, then in Spain, Egypt, Azerbaijan, Iran, the Middle East, the Balkans and Turkish Republics since 2012.
As a result of 10 years of our R&D program,we are now offerring our tomato, pepper and cucumber seed varieties to our producers in Turkey and the world.Proto Seeds are also doing something that has not been done in Antalya before. In 2002, we established Surde Tarım Co.Ltd. in order to develop potato breeding in our country.We are producing wide range of potato seed varieties by working with prominent research organizations in France such as Bretagne Plants, Comite de Nord and Grocep.We’ve initiated our own breeding program in our plant tissue labarotory and we’ve started to produce our own local varieties.We’ve prepared a working environment where we can use our own domestic breeding products to obtain potato seeds by completing its registration in the upcoming period.
In addition to the companies we used to work,Proto Professional Seed is now collaborating with the Hungarian firm,Orosco Kft. and Gautier Semences from France.
