The seed production section aims at contributing to improved household food security for smallholder farmers in Beninthrough improved access and utilization of certified seeds.  This is achieved through seed multiplication program which is done through contract farming with farmers.  The farmers are supervised and supported by staff within WASFO and Seed Services Unit of the Ministry of Agriculture. This ensures that the grown seed meet the set standards for certification.

The seed produced are distributed through Farm Input Subsidy Program under Nigerian Seed Traders Association and Agro-dealers and other retail shops.
