  • Who produces seeds in Uganda?
  • Seed production, breeding and processing are carried out by the companies headquartered in the region. No globally active companies carry out these activities in the country. Nine companies provide extension services in Uganda, and these are predominantly regional companies. Bejo and East-West Seed are the only globally active companies to do so.
