These campaigns ensure that farmers are aware of the variety of seeds offered by Super Seeds its products and so that they are optimally benefited by using these seeds.

Warehousing/Storage Facility at regional & C&F agent’s offices
In case of any kind of delay, the farmer may not postpone the sowing of his crop and may choose an alternate product. In order to address this kind of a situation Super Seeds plans ahead by creating sufficient capacity to process the seeds and keeps them ready for marketing. Buffer stocks are maintained to overcome unexpected shortages in production and an unexpected rise in demand. Super Seeds also has the provision to absorb excess production that might arise due to certain favourable conditions.
