Kachi Evergreen Farm cultivates and exports high-quality melon seeds, commonly known as Egusi in West Africa. Our Egusi is harvested from specially selected melon varieties grown in Benue, Nasarawa, Kogi, and Niger States, and processed under strict hygiene standards.
We supply cleaned, dried, and dehulled melon seeds, free from mold, stones, or impurities. Our seeds are 100% natural, non-GMO, and rich in oils and proteins, making them ideal for food manufacturing, cosmetic oil extraction, and pharmaceutical uses.
