Each portfolio spans several maturity classes so you can match seed to rainfall, altitude and your planting window. Maize has the deepest range; legumes and small grains cover the drier margins.
Seed Co breeds and produces certified seed for eight critical African crop portfolios: White & Yellow Hybrid Maize, Winter & Spring Wheat, Soya Beans, Sugar Beans, Confectionery Groundnuts, Drought-Tolerant Sorghum, Dual-Purpose Cowpeas, and Aromatic Rice.
Every seed lot is certified for germination, vigour, and purity, giving farmers the foundational confidence they need at the start of every season.
