Ag Development

It is well recognized that agriculture is the foundation for economic growth.

• Better quality seeds and more advanced farming practices can improve nutrition, standard of living, and overall agricultural productivity.
• Growth in agriculture incomes results in a reduction of poverty.
• Increased agricultural enterprises result in sustainable development.

Pioneer is creating novel partnerships and innovative business approaches in previous under-served markets. We believe that this results in more effective utilization of development resources from public, private, academic and civil society organizations.

Pioneer Sustainable Agriculture and Development Program brings to these partnerships:

• Expertise in the areas of agronomy and farming best practice
• Proven agri-business approaches, best practices and marketing expertise
• Seed and grain value-chain knowledge and products
• Base-of-the-Pyramid" knowledge and complex distribution chains
• Seed and trait research collaboration
• Public / private sector partnerships (PPP)
• Regulatory knowledge and capacity building
  

Pioneer believes that agricultural sustainability is not a one-time effort but a commitment to long-term partnerships. This provides mutual sustainable growth.
