Selected Seed
Plant variety breeding and seed production are essential tasks in agriculture.
From the beginnings of the company back in 1969, and as its name itself reveals ('semillas' means 'seeds' in Spanish), Eurosemillas has worked in this line with a clearly-defined goal: to provide growers with a wide range of selected, high-quality seed.
Our range of varieties does not only allow growers to choose their best fit according to their particular requirements and weather conditions, but also to have available the best-performing seed in terms of yield, resistance, etc.
Tras 45 años de selección, disponemos de más de X variedades de semillas selectas de especies variadas: algodón, girasol, trigo, soja, judía, guisante, arroz, haba, garbanzo, lino, triticale, maíz, cebada, cártamo, espárrago.
After 45 years selecting seed, we have more than X seed varieties available within several species: cotton, sunflower, wheat, soybean, green bean, pea, rice, fava bean, chickpea, flax, triticale, maize, barley, safflower, asparagus.
Cotton Ginning
Eurosemillas SA, with locations in the centre of Spain's major cotton-growing areas, has operated in the cotton industry for more than 40 years now, reaching a 20% market share of domestic production.
We have 3 cotton ginning plants (Las Cabezas de San Juan, Ecija, Sumbe) adding up to 5 processing lines and a capacity of 3,500 tonnes per day. We also work with a fibre quality control laboratory of our own.
Seed Oil Extraction
In order to extract oil from seed, plant cells must first be crushed before isolating the oil from the rest of components.
The process consists of three parts: crushing, pressing and extraction.
Our facility at Los Rosales has a productive capacity of 300 tonnes a day and extracts oil from sunflower, cotton, oilseed rape, soya bean and safflower seed.
We have 7 reception facilities and 1 quality control laboratory to ensure continued supply and supervision.
Cotton Grain
It provides energy and protein, milk production and milk fat.
The problems of traditional fodder:
- Poor preservation
- Aflatoxins due to rotten seed
- Handling problems
- Transport
- Limited consumption: Gossypol
The benefits of Cotton Grain:
- 365-day assured quality
- No aflatoxins
- Automated storage and handling
- Lower transport costs
- Reduction in gossypol levels
- Increased consumption
- Increased storage capacity
