For Phin Ouy, farming is more than a livelihood. It is how she cares for her family and builds a better future for her grandchildren.

From inspecting crops and managing pests to harvesting and selling her produce, each day brings hard work and uncertainty. But every harvest also brings pride, income, and the opportunity to keep her grandchildren in school.

Phin’s story is a reminder of the determination behind every field and the many ways farming can help strengthen a family’s future.

Listening and learning across Nigeria

Members of our global and regional teams recently joined our colleagues in Nigeria to meet farmers, agro-dealers, distributors, and produce traders across the country’s northern and southern regions.

The visiting team included Jihan Mercier, Chief Marketing Officer; Stuart Morris, Global Head of Knowledge Transfer; Robert Kimonge, Regional Business Head for Africa; and Sanjay Gahilot, Marketing Head for Africa.

The visit offered valuable insights into farmers’ experiences, consumer preferences, and evolving market needs. At demonstration fields and Knowledge Transfer learning sites, the group also saw how our Commercial and Knowledge Transfer teams are working together to support farmers, particularly women, with quality seeds and practical knowledge.

The visit reaffirmed Nigeria’s important role in our work across Africa and our commitment to supporting the country’s vegetable farming sector.

Supporting families affected by the earthquake in the southern Philippines

The magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck on 8 June 2026 disrupted the homes, livelihoods, and daily lives of many families in Mindanao, Philippines.

On 1 August, East-West Seed Philippines joined the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) in providing Family Recovery Assistance Starter Kits to more than 200 affected households in Sarangani Province. Around 40% of these households rely on farming for their livelihoods.

Families also received ready-to-plant seedlings of eggplant, water spinach, corn, and pak choi. Our team worked with community members to establish a garden near the evacuation area, where families can grow fresh vegetables as they recover and rebuild.

We are also exploring possible areas of collaboration with local government officials and development partners on long term partnership solutions through vegetable production to further assist the recovery and increase resilience of the communities, particularly farming households.

Seeing a crop perform in the field is one thing. Understanding its market potential is another.

At Wambugu Farm Expo 2026 in Kenya, farmers explored East-West Seed varieties through live demonstration plots, direct agronomic guidance, and even taste testing, connecting crop performance with what consumers want.

From papaya and sweet corn to pumpkin, onion, cabbage, okra, and hot pepper, the experience helped growers make more informed decisions for the next planting season.

Tiny insects can cause big problems in the field. 🌱

Aphids, whiteflies, and thrips can carry plant viruses from infected plants to healthy crops. Watch for warning signs such as stunting, curling, yellowing, mosaic patterns, mottling, and narrowing of leaves.

Regular field monitoring is important. Check the underside of leaves, look for distorted growth, sooty mold, or silvery scars, and use yellow or blue sticky traps to help detect insect activity early.
