PanAmerican Seed Announces New
Pricing Structure
The dramatic rise in domestic and global business costs
over the past decade have reportedly led to a decision
by PanAmerican Seed to make changes to its pricing
structure and price lists. To keep pace with its dedication
to innovative seed research and development, and to
continue to bring its customers quality, reliable products,
the 2021/2022 season will see price increases in the 5-25%
range depending on the product.
Additionally, PanAmerican Seed's pricelist discount
policy will be simplified and aligned with the current
market's buying behaviors.
" We've all experienced escalating costs within our
businesses - labor and shipping, government regulation
and compliance. These are just some of the factors leading
to our difficult task of re-examining our product pricing, "
said Sean Valk, global director of sales. " There are also
rising costs in R&D and facilities as PanAmerican Seed
works to bring breakthrough products to our customers,
such as disease-resistant Beacon impatiens and highperformance
Artisan echinacea. Our efforts to better
control production conditions ultimately bring quality,
reliability and confidence to your choice in our products. "
" Bringing innovative genetics to market that can solve
problems and add value to growers and consumers is a
cornerstone of PanAmerican Seed, and evaluating pricing
is one way company leadership can continue to justify
these significant investments, " said Anne Leventry,
president. " We believe our customers have a right to
demand good quality and reliable products from us and we
are dedicated to supporting advancements in technology.
Our existing seed pricing structure was simply no longer
in-sync with the current market. "
The price changes will go into effect April 1. Distribution
partners of PanAmerican Seed and their sales teams'
members will support customers with further information
on how these increases may impact their upcoming order
placements and future production planning.
