Zina Salnykova
Purity and Germination Analyst

Zina brings nearly 9 years of laboratory experience, including 4 years in the Canadian seed industry, with a strong focus on seed quality and testing. She holds Specialist degrees in Agronomy from Poltava State Agrarian Academy and in Chemical Technology from the Ukrainian State University of Chemical Technology.
Her career has focused on ensuring the integrity of seed lots from field receipt through to finished product, maintaining the highest standards of purity, germination, calibration, and safety.
Her love of soapmaking was inspired by her first job at LUSH Ukraine, while her enjoyment of gardening grew alongside her work in the lab, reflecting her passion for nurturing growth and precision in all things.
Now preparing to receive Canadian citizenship, Zina looks forward to continuing her contribution to the seed industry with the same guiding principle: “Quality first, always.”
