The breeding site in Probstdorf is located in the Marchfeld region, a pannonic-influenced arid environment which is – due to its special climatic features – predestined for the breeding of drought resistance, yield stability and different quality attributes. This can be especially beneficial for Central and Eastern European countries. Therefore, Probstdorfer Saatzucht has founded various subsidiary companies – partially with local partners – in Austria‘s neighbouring countries.

In addition Probstdorfer Saatzucht maintains numerous license partnerships with different countries, such as Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece, Azerbaijan and Russia, as well as Great Britain, Canada and the USA.
