The rate at which the newly improved varieties of Maize, Cowpea, and Rice spread among farmers in Nigeria is significantly lower than expected, giving birth to ECOBasic seed.

The GAP ECOBasicSeed Fills

Given the low adoption rate of hybrid maize in the country, ECOBasic Seed will utilize a multi-pronged marketing strategy targeted at each customer segment to create awareness about the use of hybrid seed. Our marketing strategy will focus on engaging primary and secondary customers to sell hybrid maize seed and influence production activities through direct engagement tactics such as in-person visits, phone calls, emails, and the use of demonstration plots to showcase the superiority of hybrids and drive demand.

It is abundantly clear that Hybrids are generally higher yielding than open-pollinated varieties if grown under suitable conditions.

 • Hybrids are uniform in color, maturity, and other plant characteristics, which enables the farmer to carry out some operations, such as harvesting at the same time. One of the barriers is the availability of quality foundation feed and the quantity:

  • To provide quality and sustainable foundation seed solutions to hybrid companies.
  • To increase the productivity and profitability of Seed Companies and farmers in Nigeria.
  • To Catalyze the development of hybrid maize technology adoption rate in Nigeria.
