Future Ideas open new Markets

The VISTIVE High Oleic, low linolenic trait is the first of many food quality traits under development.

This market is supplied by the Oilseed rape varieties Splendor, V141OL, V161OL and V140OL.

There is significant investment in continual development of the VISTIVE pipeline of varieties as we look towards the launch of the VISTIVE hybrid Oilseed rape varieties, leading to further enhanced opportunities on farm.

The VISTIVE hybrids represent a major step forward in yield by the VISTIVE varieties, with agronomic characteristics and performance more aligned with the best of the conventional oil profile varieties more commonly grown on farm.

Within the USA VISTIVE refers to premium quality soybean food oil instead of oilseed rape oil, this pipeline is developing new market and food industry opportunities at the cutting edge of plant breeding. The development of upcoming products to give increased market opportunities includes:

1. High-stearate oil for food products that require solid fat such as margarine and shortening.
2. Omega-3 enhanced oils represent an environmentally sustainable economical source of Omega-3s, providing new options for Omega-3 rich foods.

These are just a few new soybean quality Trait products in the pipeline. These products and others which will bring health benefits to consumers, represent Monsanto's commitment to farmers and consumers.
