- Setting new standards in seed performance -

annar Seed is a company with its roots firmly embedded in Africa. Part of the Pannar Group, Pannar Seed (Z) Ltd provides Zambian farmers with a range of exclusive seed hybrids and varieties perfected through years of extensive research and production.

The company’s range includes hybrids of maize, sunflower and sorghum and varieties of soyabeans, dry beans, wheat and groundnuts, as well as vegetable and sunflower seeds.

The variable agroecological growing conditions in Zambia make it essential that, together with a high yield potential, seeds are consistent and reliable, and thus Pannar Seed’s research is directed at providing improved crop types, enabling the farmer to maximise yield and profit.

‘Our research portfolio is one of the strongest in Africa’

“Our research portfolio is one of the strongest on the African continent,” says Marcel Busuma Kanungwe, Pannar Seed (Z) Ltd Director.

In addition to being a regional market leader, Pannar has evolved into a global player of significance, with its own companies in several African countries, Europe, the US and Argentina, and international marketing activities that span the globe.

Development opportunities in the sector abound and Mr Kanungwe welcomes international investors.
“There is a need to diversify and create areas of investment within the agricultural sector. We need international support to see that proper marketing mechanisms are put in place so that farmers can farm with confidence year after year,” he concludes.
