The promotion is one of the ways we show our appreciation to our customers and the farmers who continue to choose SeedCo as they grow their farms.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We also held the first Gulisani Mu Wiine draw, our agro-dealer and distributor promotion, recognising the important role our partners play in bringing quality SeedCo seed closer to farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The opening of our Solwezi Depot is more than the launch of a new location. It represents our continued investment in stronger agricultural communities, closer farmer support and greater access to the right seed and knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we expand our presence in North-Western Province, we look forward to working alongside farmers, agro-dealers, government and other agricultural stakeholders to support the growth of agriculture in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grow Zambia.
