In Zambia, Sunflower has emerged as an exceptionally profitable crop for smallholder farmers, offering dual income streams through oilseed processing and livestock feed production.
Our Sunflower seeds are multiplied in our Chisamba fields and prepared in our processing facility in Chongwe Silverest. Multiplication is strictly regulated and certified by the Ministry of Agriculture's inspectors. Through our research partnerships, including validation by the Zambia Agriculture Research Institute (ZARI), we deliver seeds that guarantee high germination percentages and uniform crop stand.
