Welcome to SS Seeds
Community-rooted seed production for Nepal
Founded in 2015, Sarba Shrestha Seeds began with a simple belief: Nepal should not always have to look beyond its borders for quality seeds. With the motto “Seeds for Nepal, Seeds from Nepal,” we set out to develop varieties rooted in our own diverse germplasm and adapted to Nepal’s unique growing conditions.
Our journey has never been about quick growth. It is about building something that lasts—stronger seeds, stronger farmers, and a more self-reliant seed sector for Nepal.
