Rice is a cornerstone of food security, supplying nearly 20% of the world’s dietary energy and feeding over half the global population every single day. As a vital crop, it is cultivated across approximately 165 million hectares worldwide, producing over 500 million metric tons annually. Its impact stretches across cultures, economies, and continents. With a heritage spanning over 10,000 years, rice has shaped civilizations and continues to be one of the most important crops in human history. Its incredible diversity — with over 40,000 varieties — speaks to its adaptability, both in the field and in the kitchen.
At Askar Seeds, we recognize rice not just as a staple food but as a powerful agent of change. As global demand rises, sustainable rice cultivation has become more crucial than ever. We’re committed to advancing smart, eco-friendly farming practices that reduce environmental impact, boost productivity, and enhance farmer livelihoods.
Our innovative seed technologies and farmer-focused services help drive this transformation — making rice farming more efficient, resilient, and future-ready.
Conventional rice cultivation practices are increasingly under pressure due to their environmental impact and economic inefficiency. Traditional methods demand excessive water, contribute significantly to methane emissions, and require intensive manual labor — much of which is shouldered by women. With rising labor costs and growing labor shortages, farmers across India and Asia face mounting challenges in sustaining productivity and profitability.
At Askar Seeds, we address these challenges through advanced hybrid paddy solutions that are both eco-friendly and farmer-efficient. Our seeds are developed to reduce methane emissions, support smarter water management, and tolerate environmental stress — leading to better yields with fewer inputs. Techniques like Direct Seeded Rice (DSR) combined with our hybrid varieties not only lower labor intensity but also cut production costs, promote healthier working conditions, and improve overall farm sustainability. Askar Seeds empowers farmers to transition from traditional practices to smarter, sustainable farming — for a better today and a greener tomorrow.
Askar’s advanced hybrid paddy seeds offer a smarter alternative. Designed with sustainability in mind, our hybrids support intermittent irrigation and better water use, which reduces the anaerobic conditions that cause methane release. Research indicates that Askar hybrids emit significantly less methane than conventional varieties, while still delivering higher yields and greater stress tolerance.
By combining Askar hybrid seeds with modern water management techniques, farmers can substantially cut methane emissions. These eco-friendly practices can also open opportunities to earn carbon credits — turning sustainable agriculture into additional income while contributing to climate resilience.
At Askar Seeds India Pvt. Ltd., sustainable rice agriculture is not just our mission—it fuels our innovation and commitment every day. We are dedicated to discovering and delivering the most advanced rice seed solutions to empower farmers, processors, and consumers alike. Our research focuses on developing high-performance seed varieties that enhance farm productivity, improve grain quality, and support eco-friendly farming. Our breeding process begins with developing elite parent lines. These are carefully combined to create thousands of unique hybrids, each rigorously tested for grain yield, milling recovery, disease resistance, grain quality, and plant strength. The result? A consistent pipeline of superior seeds that help farmers grow more, waste less, and earn better.
At Askar Seeds India Pvt. Ltd., our cutting-edge R&D team is dedicated to developing next-generation rice seed solutions that enhance yield, grain quality, and sustainability. With a multidisciplinary team of scientists and agronomists, we drive innovation to empower farmers with high-performing hybrid rice varieties.
Our breeders use a combination of modern breeding technologies and proprietary rice germplasm to create hybrids that deliver superior productivity, improved grain characteristics, and better adaptability. Every seed is engineered to meet the evolving demands of Indian agriculture.
We integrate AI-driven analytics, drones, field sensors, and satellite imaging to support data-backed decision-making. These insights help farmers achieve maximum productivity while minimizing inputs and environmental impact.
Our investments in molecular biology, gene editing, and marker-assisted selection enable us to unlock the full potential of hybrid rice genetics. We focus on developing customized traits—like pest resistance, stress tolerance, and superior milling quality—tailored to diverse growing conditions.
We adopt efficient seed production methods, including direct-seeded rice (DSR) techniques, to ensure the delivery of robust, high-vigor seeds. Every batch undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure consistency and optimal field performance for our customers.
Sustainability is embedded in our R&D strategy. Our hybrids are bred for water efficiency, low methane emissions, and resilience to pests and diseases—reducing the environmental footprint of rice farming and contributing to a greener future.
Through innovation, precision, and passion, Askar Seeds is shaping the future of rice agriculture—supporting farmers, ensuring food security, and protecting the environment.
