The company’s continuing success derives from maintaining a local approach to the business while conducting ground-breaking research and development on an international scale. As a result, RAGT is firmly established in all the major agricultural areas of Europe. Named after the four regions in southern France where the company has its origins: Rouergue, Auvergne, Gévaudan and Tarnais, RAGT is deeply rooted in agricultural tradition. Run by farmers for farmers, the company continues to embrace its founding principles of innovation, ambition and a spirit of competition to remain ahead of the game. The RAGT group has two complementary businesses: - Farm supply business: RAGT Plateau Central supplies supplementary products and advises over 10 000 farmers in the core region of RAGT. - Seed business: RAGT Seeds is now one of Europe's leading seeds businesses with worldwide involvement in research, development, production and sales of seeds. From wheat, barley and oats to oil seed rape, maize and grasses – our cutting edge approach to research and development consistently delivers a strong range of diverse products, year in year out. RAGT invests more than 15 per cent of its turnover in research and development and by consistently developing and growing outstanding varieties such as RGT Skyfall, RGT Rubisko, RGT Reform, RGT Illustrious and RGT Planet, we maintain our market-leading positions across Europe. From maize, sunflower and sorghum to forage grass, soil health plants and legumes our scientists and researchers typically register more than 200 new varieties across 24 different crop species each year. These pioneering varieties are responsible for exceptional yields while also delivering the features and characteristics demanded by farmers and their customers.
