Organic Seeds in Ecuador

2 years ago

Few people realize that although Ecuador is one of the countries with the greatest biodiversity and the origin of many world renowned fruits and vegetables; it does not product its own seeds. All are imported and poorly adapted to the different eco-niches of Ecuador, which means that they require pesticides and chemical fertilizers.

This now is changing as a retired professor of agriculture and genetics has spend 30 years developing seeds that are 100% organic, not hybrid and not GMO. He has teamed up with the director of an analytical laboratory, two ex-pats and many local farmers to begin producing and distributing these seeds. Now available are different varieties of tomatoes, sweet corn and naranjillas.

The first store to sell these seeds will open next week in Malacatos. Others are planned for Gonzanamá, Cariamanga, Cuenca and Quito.

the inauguration of this exhibition and sales area is on Saturday, June 5, 2021, starting at 10:00 a.m., in Barrio el Retorno, Malacatos.

(exit to Ceibopamba, Puente del Muelle) in the building of the company Construya Facil.
