70 Having growers in multiple locations enables production of a large variety of crops in various seasons and in controlled, isolated conditions. Genesis Seeds network of contract growers is spread over Israel from the north to south, representing the wide-ranging micro-climates and soil diversity. Situated between 29.5° and 33.5° latitude and 34.2° and 35.5° longitude, Israel has zero humidity and is almost pathogen free.

71 Genesis Seeds carefully selects its growers and continuously monitors their growing operations. Genesis Seeds operates according to ISO 9001:2000, ISO and the Green Label with the endorsement of the Israeli Standards Institute. Genesis Seeds sells only to seed companies, wholesalers and distributors and does not trade with seeds produced by other companies.

72 All Genesis Seeds operations, from research to production to processing take place under strict organic and environmentally controlled methods. The processing plant, the research stations, the growers and the entire production process are organically certified. They meet the organic standards of the European Union and the United States Department of Agriculture National Organic Program.

73 Together with Genesis in-house production, its growers produce certified organic seeds on over 250 acres of open fields, net-houses and greenhouses (could expand to 500 to 750 acres).

Genesis Seeds Production, Sales & Marketing Strategy 74 Genesis sells only seed that the company has grown. Genesis does not trade seed with other seed companies. However, Genesis does grow some certified hybrid seed for other companies (converting conventional hybrids to organic hybrids). All seed sold, or produced for other companies, comes from Israel and meets the companys quality standards. Israels Most Favored Nation Treaty with the U.S. and the E.U. allows the companys seed to reach its main markets duty-free.
