Harvest Hybrid Seed Company

Harvest Hybrid Seed Company was established in 2010, to cater for seed supply for sister companies within the group, and to participate in the seed industry in the country. With these clear targets, the company started its operations, investing in hybrid seed production rather than open pollinated varieties were a challenge, but with our technical know-how, long previous experiences and strong worldwide connections, the company managed to make achievements in short period of time. The company currently produces two hybrids of main crops, Sorghum Hybrid “MR White”, and Sunflower Hybrid “Sirena”. These two hybrids were the results of our fruitful collaborative programs with Australia, and Turkey. We also have a strong co-operation program with Agriculture research Corporation (ARC) where we started to produce one of their recently released hybrid sunflower that in addition to the Foundation Seed Production Program for newly released sesame seed. The same program is being carried out with the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Khartoum, mainly in Guar seed production. The company runs an intensive testing & trailing program where we screen for best performing hybrid to be selected for local production. A variety of seed sources from different countries are involved in this testing program, including materials from Australia, Egypt, Thailand, Turkey, and South Africa
