Product Catalogue

A few decades ago, the vegetable seed industry in Southeast Asia was little more than trading. Vegetable plant breeding and the improvement of local tropical varieties hardly existed.

Simon Groot, a sixth generation Dutch seedsman, had a vision of introducing breeding programs to developing seed markets in Asia. Thus, East-West Seed was born 30 years ago with the idea of blending European seed technology with Asian tropical vegetable farming.

Today, East-West Seed has revolutionized Southeast Asia’s vegetable seed market by pioneering localized hybrids and introducing varieties that allow farmers to be more productive.

Small holder farmers who try to improve their income form the majority of our customers, and get the same quality seeds as our large scale commercial farming customers. Many varieties you find in this catalogue are available in small packs of around USD1, making it possible for even the smallest farmer to use superior hybrid genetics. In this way, all of our East-West Seed staff is working together to improve income for small scale famers and to help to improve food security on the planet.
