SEED Co International (Seed Co) says it anticipates an increase in demand for seed within the region due to global supply shocks.
In a statement accompanying its results for the year ended March 31, 2022, the pan-African seed company said regional food security would remain top of the agenda to mitigate global supply shocks.
“The group will step up its operations to satisfy the anticipated increase in demand for seed in regional markets.”
It comes as the Russia-Ukraine conflict has greatly disrupted global supply chains for food, fuel and fertiliser, which has created downstream disruptions in other supply chains.
