Vegetable and tree seed breeder for professional growers and farmers
Vilmorin-Mikado is a Franco-Japanese seed producer serving professional growers, farmers, and nurseries across vegetable and tree crops. The tech stack is traditional (Excel, Office, MicroStrategy, Power BI, JD Edwards) with no active cloud or modern data adoption — indicating a business still operating on legacy enterprise systems. Hiring is accelerating across research and finance roles, with active projects spanning carrot variety improvement, demand forecasting, and supply-chain optimization, suggesting internal pressure to scale breeding cycles and operational efficiency.

Vilmorin-Mikado has been developing and producing specialized vegetable and tree seeds since 1743. The company is part of Limagrain, a French agricultural cooperative, and operates dual hubs in France (La Ménitré) and Japan (Chiba). They serve professional customers across the vegetable supply chain — growers, processors, plant producers, and nurseries — with regionally adapted seed varieties. The business is structured around breeding (carrot and other vegetable lines), manufacturing, and regional sales teams; pain points center on inventory management, demand forecasting accuracy, and balancing production capacity across geographies.
