A new study on seed companies operating in Western and Central Africa has identified Nigeria as a leading seed hub in Western and Central Africa.

The Access to Seeds Index 2019 – Western and Central Africa ranked Value Seeds number one. Like most of the other companies from the region, it operates exclusively in its home country of Nigeria. It stands out for its maize and rice ‘value kits’, all-in-one input packages tailored for smallholders.
