Pioneer has a well-established seed corn business in Mexico, with operations dating back to 1983. Pioneer also has a strong sorghum seed business.

Mexico is really four markets due to the immense amount of diversity. Farms range in size from several thousand hectares down to less than one hectare. Technology varies from 100 percent irrigated, high technology farms in the Northwest, all the way to hand planted open pollinated varieties and landraces on the tropical hillsides in the South. Corn growing elevations range from sea level to more than 2,000 meters above sea level. The diverse climates and markets mean that corn is being planted and/or harvested somewhere in Mexico year round.

Pioneer currently employs about 100 full time employees in six locations across Mexico:

• Administrative and sales headquarters in Guadalajara
• Research centers in Tlajomulco. Los Mochis and Irapuato
• Winter nursery in Puerto Vallarta
• Production plant in Culiacan

• Daniel Glat, Director - Latin America
• Joel Medrano, General Manager
• Jesus Figueroa, Site Manager - Corn & Agronomy
• Rodolfo Gomez, Regulatory & Industry Affairs
