OUR STORY
BRAC Seed and Agro Enterprise has grown from early farmer-support programs into a leading force in sustainable agriculture. In 2014, it unified seed production, processing, and marketing to deliver greater efficiency and impact.

Beyond seeds, BRAC strengthens rural economies by supplying affordable, high-quality such as fertilisers, bio-rational agri-inputs, and modern mechanisation. These solutions help reduce post-harvest losses, enhance value chains, and ensure farming communities have access to nutritious food.
