EAST-WEST SEED AFRICA

PRODUCT CATALOGUE
 A GOOD SEED
A few decades ago, the vegetable seed industry in Southeast Asia
was little more than trading. Vegetable plant breeding and the

CAN CHANGE
improvement of local tropical varieties hardly existed.

THE LIVES OF
Simon Groot, a sixth generation Dutch seedsman, had a vision
of introducing breeding programs to developing seed markets
in Asia. Thus, East-West Seed was born 35 years ago with the
idea of blending European seed technology with Asian tropical MILLIONS
vegetable farming.

Today, East-West Seed has revolutionized the tropical vegetable

seed market by pioneering localized hybrids and introducing
varieties that allow smallholder farmers to be more productive,
earning higher income from their unit of land.
 Capturing the
African vegetable
seed market
After three decades of success in Asia, East-West Seed has set its sights
on Africa as its next exciting and challenging terrain.

East-West Seed started its activities in Africa in 2008 via the Afrisem
project in Tanzania, a Dutch R&D cooperation with Rijk Zwaan to develop
hybrid indigenous varieties for the African market. Soon after, East-West
Seed built its own seed processing facility in Moshi, Tanzania with the
primary aim to produce Marigold seeds. In 2010 the company acquired
the vegetable brand Mkulima, which caused a leapfrog in East-West
Seed’s market position to become the second largest local vegetable
company in Tanzania.

The East-West Seed brand is increasingly getting stronger in the African

market, with tropical adapted varieties in tomato, onion, hot pepper,
cabbage, papaya, okra, etc. To mention a few, Red Royale a dwarf type
of papaya, Red Jewel, Red Star new onions hybrids introduced for off
season production during rainy season, tomato hybrids with heat set and
resistance to bacterial wilt and tomato yellow leaf curl virus.

The products you will find in this catalogue come in a wide range of
packaging sizes, providing access to quality seeds for all our customers,
from small-scale farmers to large-scale professional growers. In this way,
we are working to improve both farmer income and food security on the
planet.

This catalogue only displays products recommended for the tropical

African market. For the full range of East-West Seed products we would

May we wish you many successful crops with East-West Seed products!
