Over the past two decades, Peacock seed has endeavored to produce the perfect hybrid seeds for all farmers. We have partnered with organizations like Seed Platform, CIMMYT and USAID to bring hybrid seeds that are tailored for the African market with keen emphasis on high yields vis-à-vis area under cultivation.

Farmers all over sub-Saharan Africa have been plagued by crop failure and low yields year in, year out. Whether the causes be man made means or not, it is up to farmers to adopt and change their agricultural practices not only for subsistence reasons but also to remain competitive. We are on a mission to change that.
