Perdue AgriBusiness and Bayer have announced a new commercial collaboration agreement to bring Visitive Gold Extend soybeans to market mid-decade, pending EU authorization. In this commercial agreement Bayer will complete the regulatory requirement and commercialize Vistive Gold Xtend soybeans, and Perdue will offer farmers high oleic oil premiums in contract for their Vistive Gold Xtend grain in the Mid-Atlantic Region, initially.
“Through this collaboration, Bayer is enabling farmers access to elite genetics and the weed control flexibility of the Roundup Ready Xtend Crop System, while receiving premiums for growing Vistive Gold Xtend grain from Perdue AgriBusiness,” said Kara Isaak, Bayer global soy new business development manager. “We’re focused on providing products to our customers that meet their needs. We recognized a growing demand for high oleic oil, and Vistive Gold Xtend soybeans, once approved, will offer farmers opportunities to enhance profitability, and fill a need in the marketplace.”
