Rice Seeds

Kagezi Seeds offers premium, certified Rice seeds adapted to both upland and lowland (dambo) farming environments in Zambia. As rice demand grows, our varieties offer farmers high-yielding alternatives that maximize the potential of wetlands and seasonal floodplains.

Our Rice seeds are multiplied under strict isolation in our Chisamba fields and processed and graded in our Chongwe Silverest plant. The multiplication process is supervised by the Ministry of Agriculture's inspectors to ensure certified, disease-free seed stock. Working closely with the Zambia Agriculture Research Institute (ZARI), we multiply and distribute NERICA (New Rice for Africa) and specialized lowland varieties selected for high milling recovery rates and adaptability.
