Our
history
SOESP was founded in 1985 and it was designed to be one of the largest companies in the agricultural sector in Brazil.
The founder, Itamar Alves de Oliveira, identified in the tropical forage seeds business a way to offer high quality and reliable products, which meet the wishes of those who deal with the land.
Since then, Soesp has been committed to providing farmers in Brazil and around the world with the most modern and innovative pasture seeds.
Headquartered in the west of the state of São Paulo, it has an infrastructure aimed at the processing, marketing and development of new technologies for both livestock and low carbon agriculture and Crop-Livestock-Forest Integration.
A Company with a Certified Integrated Management System
In the first half of 2023, SOESP obtained certification in compliance with the criteria of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015).
The ISO 9001 certification establishes guidelines to improve the efficiency of business management processes by reflecting compliance with quality management systems.
The ISO 14001 certification testifies to our adherence to proper waste disposal processes and the management of environmental impacts from our production processes.
These internationally recognized certifications express the credibility, consistency, and continuous improvement of environmental-related internal procedures.
Our fully integrated team is committed to exceeding the expectations of our partners and customers.
Moreover, the SOESP Analysis Laboratory was accredited by the General Accreditation Coordination of Inmetro. These achievements reflect our commitment to meeting the highest standards of quality, sustainability, and reliability in all our business areas.
Our
Differentials
As part of its commitment to end-to-end seed quality, SOESP has specialists accompanying the selection process in the production fields, ensuring that it follows all the criteria established by MAPA (Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Supply).
Once selected, the seeds are sent for processing and divided into batches that are assessed at the LAS (Soesp’s Analysis Laboratory), which is authorized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAPA),
with Renasem number SP-00399/2005 and accredited through the requirements established in ABNT NBR ISO/IEC 17025:2017, by the general coordination of acreditation of Inmetro,
according to the scope published at: http://inmetro.gov.br/laboratorios/rble/docs/CRL1670.pdf
After being assessed, only the best seeds are prepared to be marketed, being subjected to our exclusive ADVANCED treatment, after which they are re-assessed.
SOESP has an automated storage unit with adequate temperature and humidity conditions to ensure seed quality.
From there on, logistics takes over, carefully organizing, palletizing, and protecting the packages with stretch film for appropriate transportation.
ICLF Network is a public-private partnership that aims to accelerate the adoption of integrated crop-livestock-forest (ICLF) technologies by farmers, aiming at sustainable intensification of agriculture.
SOESP believes that production and preservation is possible and therefore, together with the ICLF Network, supports dozens of Technological Reference Units distributed in all Brazilian biomes and involving the participation of more than 20 Embrapa Research Units.
The valorization of man, the sustainability and the economic viability, are the proposals offered by the Crop-Livestock-Forest Integration System, besides guaranteeing the environmental quality through the sustainable production, integrating and intercropping, in succession or rotated, without clearing native forests and so that there is mutual benefit for all activities. – Understand how ILCF works.
