Nuziveedu Seeds Ltd is an Indian agribusiness company which markets seeds. Nuziveedu Seeds Ltd, acknowledged[by whom?] as India’s largest hybrid seed company, has played a role in Indian agriculture by developing and supplying hybrids and varietal seeds to millions of farmers. Nuziveedu Seeds Ltd, which was originally established as a part of NSL Group, has supplied Indian farmers for more than four decades. The company has a presence in 17 states and markets approximately 350 varieties of seed products to more than 5.5 million farmers across India.[1]
The NSL Group was founded by Sri Mandava Venkatramaiah, who in 1971 foresaw the opportunity of the agriculture sector and the value of hybrid cotton seeds in the Indian cotton produce market. Being inspired by his deep conviction in the cotton seed technology and his vision to make the hybrid cotton seed available to cotton cultivators, the postgraduate in agricultural sciences and a farmer of the Nuziveedu town of Andhra Pradesh, Sri Venkataramaiah, founded the seeds business of the NSL Group in 1973.[2]
The seeds business of the NSL Group was created out of a hobby[citation needed] and was later changed[how?] by Sri Venkataramaiah's son, Mr M Prabhakar Rao, who took over of the seeds business of the NSL Group in 1982. Under his leadership, Nuziveedu Seeds became the largest hybrid seed company in India (in terms of volumes of Bt cotton seed packets sold in 2009-10). [3][4][5] At present, M Prabhakar Rao is also President of the National Seed Association of India (NSAI)[6] Nuziveedu Seeds is also active in hybrid cotton seeds and paddy seeds.
