About Us

Who we are

Oil Crop Development Limited is a private medium size seed company that deals in the research, production, processing and marketing of hybrid planting seed for various agro-ecological zones. Specializing in seed maize, all our products are sold under the brand name Faida Seeds®.

Through our partnerships, we are now in the process of diversifying into other crops.

A fourth category of legumes and small cereals is under exploration. These are envisaged to form the core business of the company while other areas of diversification such as distribution of fertilizer and agricultural chemicals will be explored. The various varieties in these categories are marketed under the Faida Seeds® brand name and are distributed countrywide to our stockists from Nakuru , Kenya . 

Our Mission

‘Faida' in Kiswahili means ‘profit' or ‘to benefit'. While we remain strong to serve small and large scale farmers, our mission is to supply quality seeds at affordable prices to ensure profitability for all our stakeholders. Using precise and thorough processing, we are committed to supplying the best quality agricultural inputs and envisage Faida Seeds® to be the preferred supplier in Kenya .
