ABOUT US
A vision and research focused on the field
Pasture people
WE HAVE A LONG HISTORY IN GENETICS, OUR OWN RESEARCH CENTERS, AND A VISION RECOGNIZED BY IMPORTANT LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITIES AND INSTITUTIONS.
In 1985, we set out to revolutionize the way of producing grass by implementing important genetic improvements of forage species.
We have two Experimental Research and Development Centers: one in Pergamino, Province of Buenos Aires, and the other one in Colonia, Uruguay. Our work is also complemented by strategic alliances and links with the most developed institutes and universities at regional and international level for the development of new species demanded by producers.
In turn, our controlled seed production has more than 20 thousand hectares per year, which allows us to guarantee a stable level of supply that meets the highest quality standards.
In parallel, we developed a network of model fields by generating the most convenient production protocols so that livestock producers can see our pasture crops in production.
Our activities and proposals also gave rise to the program called “Herdsman School”, intended to train and help producers and their people to efficiently manage pasture crops for their livestock.
Gentos has developed a wide network of distributors throughout the country to reach as many producers as possible.
Our work has received multiple awards, including the La Nación-Banco Galicia Award for Agricultural Excellence, and recognition from a wide range of entities, including Fundación ExportAr and Fundación Invertir.
Processing
The group has two silo plants that can store up to 17,500 tons of grains or seeds, and more than 5,000 tons for sorting and drying.
Our seed processing plant, located in Balcarce, cleans, sorts and bags our production according to the highest quality standards required for both the domestic and export markets. We have a state-of-the-art pelleting plant where the seed is treated with special binders, incorporating the process of insecticide, fungicide, and specific inoculants, which will facilitate sowing and protect the seed from adverse situations.
