Founded in 1973 in Attur, Tamil Nadu, by our Chairman Dr. M. Ramasami, Rasi Seeds began as a regional seed production venture rooted in a strong commitment to serving the farming community. Over five decades, it has evolved into a research-led seed company and today stands among India’s most trusted seed companies. Rasi Seeds is the largest brand of cotton seeds in India and, by acreage under seed production, one of the largest globally - working with a network of over 28,000 contract producer-farmers cultivating more than 45,000 acres.

 

Built on a strong legacy of agricultural innovation, Rasi Seeds specializes in the development and supply of high-quality hybrid seeds across a wide portfolio of field crops, including cotton, maize, paddy (rice), mustard, wheat, millet, and forage crops. Operating on a research-driven model, the company combines conventional breeding with advanced biotech tools to deliver high-yielding, region-specific varieties suited to diverse agro-climatic conditions. Its extensive R&D ecosystem includes multi-location testing stations, production farms, state-of-the-art processing facilities, and a NABL-accredited research laboratory in Attur, supported by over 250 breeders and scientists dedicated to seed innovation.

​

At the core of Rasi Seeds’ work is the development of resilient hybrids capable of withstanding biotic and abiotic stresses, helping farmers reduce risk and improve productivity. Through a robust national distribution network, trusted trade partners, and farmer engagement programs such as Rasi Mitra, the company reaches over 4 million farmers annually, with seeds sown across more than 6.5 million acres. Guided by values of integrity, farmer-centric service, and sustainability, Rasi Seeds continues to shape the future of Indian agriculture through science-driven solutions that earn long-standing trust across generations of farmers
