Our story
More than two decades supplying tropical plantations, from cover crop seeds to a growing range of soil and plantation products.
Kudzu Seeds Trading was established on 25 April 2002 as a wholesaler and distributor of tropical cover crop seeds for plantations and individual growers. Over the years we expanded into the importation of super-hybrid germinated oil palm seed from FGV Agri Services Sdn. Bhd. and Sime Darby Seeds and Agricultural Services, Malaysia.
Our portfolio has since grown to include SoilBoost EA, a concentrated humic acid soil conditioner produced exclusively for Chemiseed and Kudzu Seeds Trading, and the Kudzu RB Lure, manufactured by ChemTica International, S.A., Costa Rica, for rhinoceros beetle management in oil palm and coconut.
Today we continue to grow by offering practical, evidence-based and sustainable products that help plantation owners and smallholder growers build healthier soil and more productive land.
What we supply
A focused range for tropical plantations and land-rehabilitation programmes: leguminous cover crop seeds, soil conditioners, organic supplements, pest-monitoring lures and plantation tools.
Tropical cover crop seeds
Five leguminous species for oil palm, rubber, coconut and cacao: Mucuna bracteata (MB), Pueraria javanica (PJ), Calopogonium mucunoides (CM), Centrosema pubescens (CP) and Calopogonium caeruleum (CC). They fix nitrogen, suppress weeds and protect plantation ground from erosion.

A plant supplement and soil amendment derived from water hyacinth, certified organic by BAFS and Control Union of the Philippines. That certification applies to Hyacinth Plus only, not to SoilBoost EA.

Our relationship with Chemiseed
Kudzu Seeds Trading and Chemiseed Sdn. Bhd. are independent sister companies serving tropical plantation agriculture. Each sources and supplies its own seed and products for its own markets, holds its own contracts and handles its own shipping. We are not dependent on one another; we work together, drawing on more than 20 years of combined field experience across Philippine, Malaysian and Indonesian plantations.
In practice that means our customers get consistent, germination-tested seed quality, species recommendations grounded in real plantation experience, and SoilBoost EA, a single proprietary soil conditioner produced exclusively for both companies and offered by Kudzu Seeds Trading to its own markets.
Where we operate
Our primary market is the Philippines. We also export to tropical regions worldwide, with a phytosanitary certificate issued for each consignment by the Philippine NPPO, the Bureau of Plant Industry, under the IPPC framework.
Why work with us

Every lot is tested before shipment, with a dated certificate of analysis available on request. Tested figures, not guarantees. See quality and certifications.
