SEEDS

Seed selection is the key in order to create quality product. We procure the special GMO-free (Genetically Modified Organisms FREE) hybrid seeds from the United States.

            

ARABLE LAND

The latitude of 46° N, where our producing areas are located, belongs to the so-called „corn belt” in Hungary. It means that here are the most favourable climatic and loam conditions for popcorn maize cultivation. For the production we have hundreds of hectares of family-owned high-quality arable land, and we have been integrating farmers for many years, so our production capacity can be further expanded. Most of the lands are irrigated, so they are not subject to weather conditions.

MACHINERY + TECHNOLOGY

The quality assurance and tracking system from seed production up to the packaging of our products guarantees the best possible quality, the perfect product. The crop – harvested with our own machines – is stored, dried and purified with the latest technology. Due to our plant protection process, our product is toxin free and the Heid Delta cleaning line offers 99% pure product to our customers. Our technology, the facilities and the machinery are continuously being improved, developed and expanded partly by proper and by tender resources.
