Namdhari Seeds

About Us

Founded in 1985, Namdhari Seeds initially concentrated on contract seed production for exports. In first decade, it emerged as one of the largest contract seed producer of vegetables and flowers. Simultaneously breeding programs were started to develop suitable hybrids for the Indian market in important vegetable crops. Our first hybrids were released in the Indian market in 1992 which were very successful. Inspired by the success of our hybrids there was an increased emphasis and investment in breeding which resulted into the position of leadership in Indian vegetable seed industry.

Presently, Namdhari Seeds is one of the largest vegetable seed companies in India. We offer more than 500 hybrids and varieties in 20 different crops globally. Our research team strives to develop suitable hybrids for diverse market requirements. Major emphasis is on regional preferences, adaptability, disease resistance, yield, taste and shelf life. The product development team acts in close co-ordination with R&D and marketing and conducts trials, extensively in the farmer’s fields before releasing to the market. Close interaction of marketing & product development team with the farmers ensures that best products reach the farmer. Although the major concentration of our production is in India, to overcome seasonal limitations, capabilities have been developed to produce seeds in different locations worldwide.
