Some few companies are in the business for some time now. Mashamba and tractors solution Ltd is a relative new company in the business having five years since it was established. But the company has been growing and increasing its market share steadily. The company increases its competitive ability with time as it emphasizes on quality of its products and reliable distribution system that focus to smallholder farmers. Most of the problems in seed industry rise as the results of poor management of production fields and unscrupulous dealers or individuals within the supply chain of distribution and supply.
