Seed Co Uganda was registered in 2014, with operations scheduled to commence in FY27.
Seed Co’s core business is the production and marketing of certified hybrid seeds. Its seed products are developed through long-term scientific breeding programmes designed to deliver consistent value to farming operations. These hybrids enable farmers to achieve reliable yields, enhanced food security, and improved livelihoods year after year.
Seed Co hybrid seeds are bred for high performance, incorporating appropriate immunity, resistance, and tolerance to key diseases, while maintaining strong yield stability across diverse agro-ecological conditions.
In 2015, Limagrain, a leading French cereal and vegetable seed company, acquired a strategic stake in Seed Co, strengthening the company’s global partnerships and research capabilities.
Over the years, Seed Co has expanded its footprint across Africa, leveraging strong brand equity and superior seed varieties adaptable to multiple geographical environments. In partnership with Limagrain’s affiliate, HM. Clause, Seed Co has also ventured into vegetable seed breeding and distribution across the continent under the Prime Seed Co brand.
Seed Co operates the largest single out-grower scheme in the seed sector and maintains an extensive network of farmers, infrastructure, and technical expertise, supporting sustainable agricultural growth across Africa.

There is no substitute to the right variety, and that’s why Seed Co always emphasizes on maturity series relative to intended area of production because the water resource is a highly dependent factor. Plant at the right time to optimise water use, provide right fertiliser at the right time and keep the crop weed free and healthy. Once the crop is healthy and well fed to help it achieve its required grain filling, you will get potential yields.
%before shuttering (grain dispersal). Shuttering can be a major cause of field loss. All Seed Co soybean varieties yield between 3 and 6 tonnes per hectare.
Commercial farmers use herbicides on Seed Co soybean varieties and have succeeded.
From our many registered agro dealers spread throughout the country. These have seed Seller’s Licences issued by Seed Control and Certification Institute.
It depends on the target yield and soil fertility status. Clay soils are thirsty while sandy soils are hungry. The basic recommended levels are 200 kg basal D/C plus 200kgs urea per hectare. Note that maize varieties respond positively to increased fertiliser and other crop management factors.
All our current maize varieties produce a single cob, so one kernel will produce one cob.
Insufficient fertiliser will give below potential grain yield.
