Kagezi Seeds offers premium, certified Cowpea seeds that are exceptionally resilient and highly productive. Cowpea is a cornerstone of food security and climate-smart agriculture in Zambia, serving as a drought-hardy source of high-quality protein, a soil restorer, and a valuable source of livestock fodder.
Our Cowpea seeds are grown in our Chisamba fields and processed at our packing plant in Chongwe Silverest. Multiplication is monitored closely by inspectors from the Ministry of Agriculture. Verified through long-standing partnerships with the Zambia Agriculture Research Institute (ZARI), our seeds exhibit outstanding purity, excellent germination vigor, and resistance to key local pests.
