Direct answer

Minimum commercial order?

Commercial orders typically start at 200 kg. We arrange trial packs (2–10 kg) for variety validation first. Both, subject to the importing country's biosafety regulations. Most African markets require conventional (non-GMO); Brazil, Argentina and the US offer both.

Maturity classes we cover

Very-early (75–90 days), early (90–110), medium (110–125) and late (125–140+) hybrids. We source dent, semi-dent and flint types for feed, food and industrial end-uses.

Trait packages

Drought tolerance, MLN and MSV resistance for East and Southern Africa, GLS and rust resistance for temperate belts, high-lysine QPM lines, waxy and high-oil specialities where available.

How sourcing works

Submit your target country, hectares, maturity class and trait priorities. The platform shortlists breeders whose released lines match your agro-ecology; a sourcing specialist negotiates pricing, sample availability and delivery. Supplier identities remain private.

Financing

Trade finance, Letters of Credit and supplier credit are available via independent third-party providers on qualifying orders. See /seed-project-financing.
