Agricultural Inputs, Seed Supply & Crop Procurement
For more than three decades, Somarain Oriental Co. Ltd. has been a trusted partner to Sudan's agricultural sector. Since 1996, the company has served as the authorized agent and representative of Pannar Seed Company and Starke Ayres in Sudan, supplying farmers with premium-quality field crop and vegetable seeds adapted to local growing conditions.
Throughout this long-standing partnership, Somarain has successfully introduced and distributed high-performing varieties of:
- Sunflower .
- Grain Sorghum .
- Forage Sorghum .
- Maize .
- Tomato .
- Onion .
- Cucumber .
- Melon .
Our commitment extends beyond seed distribution. Over the years, we have established strong and lasting relationships with farming communities across Sudan, earning the confidence of both commercial and smallholder farmers through reliable supply, technical support, and market access.
Recognizing the importance of creating sustainable agricultural value chains, Somarain has developed crop procurement programs that enable farmers to secure markets for their produce. We actively purchase sorghum and sunflower crops from farmers and agricultural producers, helping to strengthen rural incomes and agricultural productivity.
In many cases, we operate under contract farming arrangements, whereby Somarain supplies certified seeds to farmers at the beginning of the season and commits to purchasing the harvested crop upon maturity. This integrated approach provides farmers with access to quality inputs, reduces marketing risks, and promotes the adoption of improved agricultural practices.
Today, Somarain continues to play a vital role in supporting Sudan's agricultural development by connecting international seed technology with local farming expertise, while creating sustainable opportunities for crop production, procurement, and agricultural trade.
