About us
The RICA Seed Center is supporting Rwanda’s drive towards a sustainable future.
By innovating and investing in seed varieties, accelerating the advancement of seed companies, and training the future leaders of the industry, we both support the growth of Rwanda’s seed supply and ensure the conservation and care for the land it is planted on.
Driven by Rwanda’s spirit of innovation and excellence, we do this by providing industry-leading facilities, expertise, and training — infusing the sector with the inspiration, confidence, and skills to tackle the challenges of today and to maximize on the opportunities of tomorrow. We are playing our part in propelling Rwanda towards food security and supporting the transformation of the agriculture sector.
