Royal Seed Knowledge Transfer


Sharing Knowledge. Building Skills. Growing Success

At Royal Seed, we go beyond supplying high-quality seeds. Through our Knowledge Transfer program, we work directly with farmers to share practical skills, agronomy guidance, and hands-on training. Our goal is to help farmers increase yields, improve crop quality, and farm sustainably for better livelihoods.

Why Knowledge Transfer Matters

Smallholder farmers in Kenya face real challenges:

  • Unpredictable weather and climate variability

  • Pest and disease pressures

  • Limited access to reliable agronomic guidance

  • Rising input and production costs

Even the best seeds need proper care to perform well. Royal Seed Knowledge Transfer bridges this gap, giving farmers the tools, skills, and confidence to farm smarter and more profitably.

Our Centre of Excellence at the Royal Seed Complex is the heart of the program. Farmers can observe crop performance, test new varieties, and practice modern farming methods firsthand.

Farmers gain hands-on experience in:

  • Land preparation and soil management

  • Seedling production and nursery care

  • Integrated pest and disease management (IPDM)

  • Efficient fertilizer and water use

  • Harvesting standards and post-harvest handling

  • Farm business management and record-keeping

Hands-on training ensures farmers can immediately apply lessons on their own farms, improving yields and income.

Our Farmer-Focused Approach

We combine hands-on training with advice tailored to local conditions, ensuring farmers can apply what they learn directly on their own farms.

Our approach:

  • Practical: Field-based learning on real farms

  • Relevant: Techniques suited to local conditions

  • Sustainable: Focused on long-term productivity, soil health, and profitability

  • Accessible: Teaching also delivered through social media videos for easy learning anywhere
