Pearl Millet Seeds
Engineered for Zambia's diverse climatic zones, our Pearl Millet thrives in dry soils and delivers dependable yields even in low-rainfall seasons — a reliable choice for farmers in semi-arid regions.

Sorghum Seeds
A drought-hardy grain that performs where others fail. Sorghum's deep root system allows it to tap moisture reserves that maize cannot access, making it ideal for Zambia's low-rainfall zones.
Frequently Asked Questions
Sorghum requires 30–40% less water than maize and is significantly more tolerant of heat stress. In dry years, it consistently outperforms maize in low-input conditions.
Oilseed
Sunflower Seeds
Specially developed for high oil content and strong adaptability. Kagezi's Sunflower Seeds open multiple income streams — cooking oil production, livestock feed, and direct market sales.
Frequently Asked Questions
Through our outgrower programme, we connect farmers with cooking oil processors and livestock feed manufacturers who provide guaranteed pre-season purchase agreements.
Legume
Bean Seeds
Carefully selected bean varieties that improve soil fertility and adapt seamlessly to Zambia's local climate. A high-protein food crop with strong household and market demand.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Intercropping beans with maize is a highly recommended practice. The beans fix nitrogen, benefiting the maize, while maximising use of available land.
Legume
Groundnuts
A nutritious and commercially valuable crop well-suited to Zambia's sandy soils. Groundnuts provide food security, oil production, and a reliable cash crop with broad market access.
