  • Are there any seed companies in Botswana?
  • There is a complete lack of breeding, seed production and processing among the ten companies. Klein Karoo Africa, Capstone Seeds, Seed Co and Starke Ayres are all headquartered in neighboring South Africa, which suggests that Botswana is solely a distribution channel for those companies. Other index companies are also active in the country.
  • How many index companies are there in Botswana?
  • There are ten index companies with a presence in Botswana, covering both field crops and vegetables, though Klein Karoo Africa and Seed Co are the only two with testing locations. With two technical staff dedicated to training farmers, Seed Co is the sole company carrying out extension services.
