About

At East-West Seed, we put farmers at the heart of everything we do. In all our locations around the world – and from the office, the field and the laboratory – we all share the same passion for serving smallholder farmers with quality seeds and the knowledge they need to succeed.

During his many travels as marketing director of the family seeds business Sluis & Groot (now Syngenta) he had noticed the struggles faced by smallholder farmers in tropical regions and observed that low-quality seeds resulted in poor yields, perpetuating a cycle of poverty and malnutrition.
