Background
Supporting Somalia’s farmers with quality inputs
HornAgro is a seed company whose product portfolio spans crop seeds, animal feeds, and light farm machinery. We offer quality choices for farm inputs and advisory requirements. We are inspired by our mission and drive to seed and feed the Horn of Africa by providing sustainable and affordable solutions for farming fruit, vegetables, and fodder crops. We aim to transform the lives of farmers and agro-pastoralists in Somaliland by offering quality climate-smart seed varieties that guarantee the farmer’s resilience in the face of volatile and ever-changing climate patterns in Africa.
Our technical experts are drawn from diverse agricultural and technical disciplines (certified seed production, fodder production, and climate-resilient agriculture). We marshall our expertise and experience to deliver solutions that enable farmers to overcome the challenges of accessing affordable and quality inputs in Somalia.
HornAgro is founded on the principle that agriculture is a complex ecosystem that requires solid foundational support (seeds) to thrive. This principle has guided us in developing, sourcing and procuring quality inputs to enable farmers in Somalia to realize their full productivity and value.
