Chia Oruro - the first variety suitable for cultivation in Europe
Panam France has patiently selected through conventional breeding the chia variety Oruro, the first variety suitable for cultivation at our latitudes. This major breakthrough opens the way for European chia production, substituting imports with a high added-value local crop.
We work hand in hand with the Chia de France value chain to promote this crop of the future, whose significant health benefits are widely recognized by the scientific community: rich in omega-3, dietary fiber, plant-based protein, and minerals.

Plant proteins
High-protein soybean
Panam France was a pioneer in the commercialisation of high-protein soybean (>46%) by introducing the Primus variety, very rich in protein with a white hilum. Panam France continues its efforts and now offers the variety Newport, a very early group 000 with an average protein content of 46% and a light hilum highly valued by industry. This variety meets the growing requirements of human food and animal nutrition sectors in terms of protein content and grain visual quality.

Camelina, anthocyanin maize, amaranth, textile hemp
Panam France is also working on improving varieties that are still too little known in France but have strong agronomic and commercial potential.
Camelina
A low-input winter oilseed, camelina has a remarkable fatty acid profile, rich in omega-3. Hardy and undemanding, it integrates perfectly into cereal rotations.

Purple maize, rich in anthocyanins (4000 mg/100 g), is a powerful antioxidant and stable natural colourant (E163), usable as a standard flour, heat-resistant up to 200°C. It is also an excellent protector of fat content in high-oil silage maize silos.
Amaranth
A pseudo-cereal with high nutritional value, amaranth is rich in complete proteins and minerals. It represents a diversification opportunity for farms looking for distinctive crops.
Industrial hemp
Panam is developing a supply chain dedicated to the production of Industrial hemp seeds for industry. This initiative aims to strengthen national self-sufficiency by guaranteeing a supply of seeds produced in France, serving the entire sector.
