East-West Seed introduced market-oriented plant breeding in Southeast Asia in 1982, with the mission to improve the income of smallholder farmers through high-quality vegetable seeds. Smallholder farmers were the main clients then, and they continue to be up to now. East-West Seed has played an important role in the improvement of tropical vegetable varieties that are adapted to local markets and growing conditions. The privately-owned company produces and markets a wide portfolio of hybrid and open-pollinated seeds. For many years, the company has recognized that access to quality seeds and sharing knowledge go hand in hand. East-West Seed is actively involved in farmer training and extension to support farmers with knowledge and skills in profitable vegetable production. In 2016, East-West Seed was ranked #1 in the Global Index for Vegetable Seed Companies and Regional Index for Eastern Africa by Access to Seeds, an independent organization funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The Index measures the efforts of the world's leading seed companies to enhance the productivity of smallholder farmers. Today, East-West Seed is one of the 10 largest vegetable seed companies in the world, with a leading position in the most important Southeast Asian countries and rapid expansion into India, China, Africa and South America. East-West Seed is a fast-growing, multi-cultural organization with over 4,600 employees. It has 14 R&D establishments in 6 countries and 10 seed processing facilities in 7 countries. The company exports to over 60 countries in tropical areas of the world. It has its headquarters in Thailand.
