Enabling farmers
to increase productivity and prosperity

Overview

Nath Bio-Genes (I) Ltd. is the flagship company of Nath Group, which is a well diversified business conglomerate. For over forty years, Nath Bio-Genes has played a pivotal role in shaping Indian agriculture by developing and supplying quality BT, hybrid and varietal seeds to farmers at affordable prices. We are as old as the industry itself!

Some reputed cotton hybrids like Somnath, Jagannath which were introduced over two decades ago, still remain household names with farmers. Nath Bio-Genes has emerged as one of the most preferred seeds brands in India. In line with our commitment to providing farmers with world-class seeds, we also engage in extension work to help farmers leverage their relationship with us to the fullest; this includes a package of product awareness programs, crop demonstrations, knowledge transfer on agronomic inputs, fertigation practices and post-harvest management.

Nath Bio-Genes is amongst the most trusted seed companies in India because of our consistent efforts in research and development, heavy investments in biotechnology to improve seed quality coupled with stringent quality control standards. Moving on from tackling food security (lab to land), we are now focussing on nutritional security bringing healthier varieties from farms to your plates.

Our Story

The promoters of Nath Bio-Genes were farmers themselves led by progressive farming families. The plight of Indian farmers was visible closely, like the uncertainty of prices, weather, etc., something had to be done to improve productivity and the farmers’ earnings. With this insight, we recognised the magnifying effect of a good seed on the productivity and profitability for farmers.

Seeds are the beginning of the food supply cycle and we compared the seed production in India vis-à-vis the rest of the world. At this time, the seed business was at a very nascent stage in our country and the family of Kagliwals brought seeds as a company to India in 1964. After a few years, Nath Group was created in 1979 by Mr. Nandkishor Kagliwal who is the key promoter of Nath Bio-Genes (I) Ltd.

Our breeders and biotechnology experts started research programs in major field crops and select vegetable crops with the vision to create the best seeds for Indian farmers. Our first team of scientists included renowned personalities like Dr. Mazumdar who began the bajra breeding program and Dr. C T Patel who began the cotton breeding program. 

We thought of the concept of having a force of field representatives for educating farmers and hand-holding them for increasing yield, and today our Nath Farmer Advisors are trusted partners of the farmers in their growth journey. Our commitment to excellence has helped us become a market leader in several crops and geographies and preferred choice of farmers across India. 

 At Nath Bio-Genes it is indeed passion beyond business.
