MISSION
Our corporate mission is to provide custom solutions to crop production businesses to optimize their performance.

We do so by advising and distributing inputs required to crop production businesses, and by getting involved in the transportation and marketing of grain produced by our clients.

"Our outlets in Sainte-Martine and in Saint-Rémi enable us to effectively serve clients in Montérégie-Ouest. The distribution of vegetable seeds is managed in Saint-Rémi."

IMPORTANT DATES  

Agrocentre Saint-Rémi opened in 1970. Partnered with the multinational C-I-L, it was exclusively dedicated to the manufacturing and distribution of fertilizers.

Fertibec was launched in 1979 in the municipality of Sainte-Martine. The company became specialized in fertilizers. Upon joining the company in 1983, Daniel O'Donoughue introduced pesticides, corn seeds, grains and soybeans to the range of products distributed.

In 1993, Jean-Luc Yelle partnered with Mr. O’Donoughue and took charge of the administration of Fertibec until the 2001 merger of Agrocentre Saint-Rémi and Fertibec to create Agrocentre Fertibec as we know it today.

In 2003, Richard Adam joined the board to take over from Mr. O’Donoughue and pursue the development of the company with Mr. Yelle .

In December 2007, the vegetable seed distribution activities of Semences BC were integrated into those of Agrocentre Fertibec under the name of Seminova (www.seminova.ca).

In 2014, Jean-Luc Yelle sold a portion of his shares to Christian Blanchard and César Chlela, both agronomists employed by the company. They completed the acquisition of Mr. Yelle's remaining shares upon his departure from Agrocentre in 2018.

  • This region accounts for nearly a quarter of corn and soybean production in Quebec.
  • A pool of English-speaking farmers has enabled the region to innovate in different production techniques developed in Ontario and the United States.

EXPERTISE

Agrocentre Fertibec has become a leader by innovating in many areas:
  • Custom variable-rate lime application
  • Custom spraying of crop protection products
  • The expansion of the nitrogen solutions market has also enabled the company to innovate by using mobile tanks that can easily be moved from one client to another. This means it can receive full loads from tanker trucks.
  • The addition of resources dedicated to the grain trade has enabled Agrocentre Fertibec to become effectively involved in this line of business.
