About Columbia Seed Co. Ltd.

Columbia Seed Co. Ltd. (CSL) was established in 1964. The main purpose then was the production of quality seed peas for the United Kingdom, Asia, and Europe. With changes in world trade over the past fifty years our company has had to change as well.

Our company established the green pea export standard for Canadian Green Peas many years ago with our variety 'Radley'. Bred by Columbia Seed Co. Ltd. owners at the time, Sharpes International Seeds in Sleaford, UK.

CSL today is owned by an affiliate company of XPT Grain Inc. This acquisition was made on July 1, 2021.

We are Contractors, Processors and Marketers of Specialty Agricultural Products located in Vauxhall, Alberta, Canada.
