French-owned RAGT Semences will soon start building a seed-planting processing and packaging facility in the Morahalom industrial park (SE Hungary), company director Didier Nury said on August 30. Construction will start before the end of the year and will be completed in several phases, Mr Nury said. The first phase will finish by 2012, he added.

The Hungarian Investment and Trade Development Agency (ITD Hungary) assisted RAGT in finding a site for the plant. RAGT has six seed-planting facilities in Europe. It sells 235 types of seeds for 22 crops.
