Quality & Standards

Consistent performance, rigorous control and full traceability from seed to shipment.

Our Philosophy

At Laboulet, quality is not an additional step — it is part of every stage of our work. As a family-owned seed company operating since 1885, our reputation has been built on reliability, trust and uncompromising standards. Every batch of seed reflects our long-standing commitment to professionals worldwide.

Full-Control Seed Production

All seed production is carried out with selected partner farmers in northern France. These long-term partnerships ensure stable quality, consistent fields and total traceability. Each multiplication field is monitored throughout the season for isolation, plant health, uniformity and varietal purity.
