Sevita Adds 6 New Soybean Varieties for Canadian Growers for the 2025 Growing Season

Inkerman, ON - Sevita International, a Canadian-owned and operated soybean company, is excited to introduce 6 new soybean varieties across Canada for the 2025 growing season. 

As an independent soybean company, Sevita selects varieties from its own proprietary breeding program, Sevita Genetics, and partners with other multinationals and public breeding organizations to deliver one of the strongest commercial soybean seed portfolios in Canada. These new varieties complement Sevita’s existing soybean line-up, fill geographical gaps, and identify potential new replacements for current products.  

“Sevita International has a long-standing commitment to Canadian agriculture. The breeding program is located in Eastern Canada, so we have the opportunity to develop products in the areas where Sevita operates. Sevita considers farmer needs and growing conditions carefully when developing breeding objectives and bringing new varieties to market,” says John Van Herk, Product Development and Agronomy Manager at Sevita. “And through our export team, we can work very closely with our buyers and end-use manufacturers around the world to develop new varieties with unique characteristics that meet their specific needs.”
