Become a Kudzu Seeds distributor

Kudzu Seeds Trading is looking for agricultural input dealers, farm supply stores, and plantation service providers who want to add cover crop seeds and soil amendments to their product offering. We supply buyers across the Philippines and, on request, worldwide from Davao City.

Why distribute our products

Sustainability-driven demand

Tropical coconut and oil palm plantations are increasingly adopting cover crops to meet sustainability standards, manage input costs, and comply with environmental regulations. Interest in these markets continues to grow.

Supplied from Davao City

Kudzu Seeds Trading is the Philippines-based sister company of Chemiseed Sdn. Bhd. Orders are shipped from Davao City, Philippines, and export shipments carry a phytosanitary certificate issued by the Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI). Availability and landed costs are quoted per order.

Technical training

We share what we know about species selection, establishment methods, and rates so you can advise your customers with confidence. The scope and format of training is agreed case by case.

Volume-based pricing

Distributor pricing is volume-based. Tiers, terms, and margins are discussed case by case. Cover crop seed is typically a recurring purchase as plantations expand and replant.

Establishment rates your customers will ask about. Recommended seeding rates, each for one species sown alone (our recommendation): Pueraria javanica, Calopogonium mucunoides and Centrosema pubescens 10 kg/ha; Calopogonium caeruleum 5 kg/ha; Mucuna bracteata 1 kg/ha. For a mixture, the quantity of each species is set on the quotation for the site. Recommended planting method for all five species: drill or in holes, because broadcasting does not guarantee good germination, especially where the soil dries out easily. Mucuna bracteata is not broadcast; it can also be raised in a nursery and transplanted. MPOB TT No. 501 (Hasnol Othman, Farawahida Mohamad Darus and Zulkifli Hashim, 2012) used about 320 nursery-raised seedlings per hectare on deep peat, two per palm point, raised from about 500 seeds (75 g). On nitrogen, one 15N isotope-dilution study under three-year-old oil palm on Jawa Series soil in Malaysia found roughly 67 to 84 percent of the nitrogen in Mucuna bracteata derived from the atmosphere (Ndfa) (Cheah, Zaharah and Aminuddin 2010, Oil Palm Bulletin 60: 22-27); this is indicative and site-dependent. Legume cover contributes nitrogen; adjust your fertiliser programme only after soil and leaf analysis shows what the cover supplies on your block.
