Southern Hemisphere Seeds (SHS) was founded by a group of farmers and industry leaders that had a mutual desire to provide the South African agricultural industry with the latest global soya production technologies. This was done in an effort to keep up with local demand for genetically enhanced soya cultivars that can thrive in South African soil.
Southern Hemisphere Seeds relies on a portfolio of cultivars that not only improve yields, but also allows farmers to be at the cutting edge of the latest genetic development on an international scale.
Southern Hemisphere Seeds is a company created by farmers for farmers. We are committed to creating new opportunities in the industry and excited about offering a phenomenal service to the local agricultural community.
South Africa’s unique geographical location harbours a lot of different production conditions. This complex environment took us some time to understand at first, however, after in-depth research and extensive testing of more than 250 cultivars, we are now able to advise farmers regarding the correct application of various management tools and the right cultivars fit for each area.
Today, Southern Hemisphere Seeds relies on a portfolio of cultivars that not only improve yields, but also allows farmers to be at the cutting edge of the latest genetic development on an international scale.
Our genetically diverse product range results from the careful selection of cultivars from four different breeding programmes in South America that relate geographically and agronomically to similar farming conditions in South Africa.
We have access to more than 10 000 new crossings every year. These cultivars offer the highest potential in production and disease tolerance, together with the highest herbicide resistance.
As part of Southern Hemisphere Seeds’ commitment to the South African agricultural industry, we regularly partner with various farmers, dealers, cooperatives, and stakeholders in the soya production chain to educate role players in the industry regarding the management, use, and agricultural benefits of soya beans.
It’s imperative that the groundbreaking technology we are supplying to the agricultural market is purchased by farmers that have the right management tools so they can realise the full potential of our cultivar’s portfolio.
Our company is growing at an impeccable pace. We plan on supplying South African farmers with practical and insightful solutions for years to come.
We are also excited about growing our product range. Our new development programmes will offer bird-resistant sunflowers as well as a new range of sorghum cultivars to all South African producers.
