The facility will feature two dryers and a logistics center, and will begin operation to support customer demand for high-quality corn seed in Ukraine in time for the 2019 planting season. It will process around 750,000 units of seed annually to supply 2,500 Ukrainian farmers with Dekalb corn seed developed using traditional breeding techniques, with further expansion planned to support international markets.
