Seed to Table

Seeding Innovation

In the heart of Pakistan, amidst the challenges of a global crisis, National Foods Limited embarked on a remarkable journey - a journey from Seed to Table. It all began as a response to the pressing need to address supply chain constraints magnified by the COVID-19 pandemic.

With determination and foresight, National Foods Limited saw an opportunity to transform adversity into innovation. The Seed to Table initiative was born to recognize and reduce Pakistan’s dependence on imported raw materials, particularly the annual import of nearly USD 10 million worth of tomato paste.

Fuelled by the vision of reshaping Pakistan's agricultural landscape, Seed to Table became more than just a project; it became a beacon of hope and inspiration, significantly contributing to improving Pakistan's image on the global agricultural front.

Through formal partnerships with progressive farm-managing companies, National Foods Limited set out to empower local farmers and fortify the tomato value chain.

As seeds were sown and partnerships blossomed, the impact of Seed to Table began to unfold. Farming practices were enhanced, yields flourished, and farmers were equipped with the tools and knowledge needed to thrive.
