DSV sells 25,000 t seed material a year, mainly in Europe. In Germany the oilseed rape and
cereal varieties are marketed via the DSV shareholdings in RAPOOL-RING and I.G. Pflanzenzucht.
Grass marketing is divided between straights and forage and turf grass mixtures. Straights
are sold through joint venture Europe wide organisation EURO GRASS. For German sales of grass
mixtures, DSV acts as direct partner of wholesalers and retailers.
International sales are conducted through affiliated firms partly owned by DSV, chief of which is EURO GRASS (www.eurograss.com) that carries out global marketing of forage and turf grasses as well as small-seeded feed legumes for DSV and its Danish partner Hunsballe FrØ. EURO GRASS sales activities are managed at DSV Head Office in Lippstadt. The DSV oilseed rape varieties are marketed by international RAPOOL subsidiaries (www.rapool.com).
In countries where DSV has no shares in marketing and distribution organisations, the products are sold via reliable partner companies.
