The company operates its seed research at 20 experimental research centers covering all climatic zones of Pakistan. In addition to in-house research, Four Brothers Seeds has close R&D collaboration and cooperation with Government institutes like NARC, PARC, CCRI, CRI, RRI, FCCU, CEMB, NIBGE, State Key Cotton Lab, Beijing, and NIAB as well as with Faculty of Agriculture, the University of Sargodha having MOUs for research and development. Four Brothers Research Farms is also a member of the Asia and Pacific Seed Association (APSA), International Seed Federation (ISF), and Seed Association of Pakistan (SAP).
Four Brothers Seeds Corporation began the cotton variety development program in 2003 to create high-yielding transgenic and climate-smart cotton varieties. During the course of transgenic variety development, we focus on improvement in yield potential with inbuilt pest resistance and climate resilience varieties. The core objective is to increase farmers’ incomes, meet the demands of the ginning and textile industries, and save the interest of end consumers. Variety development is a time-taking process that sometimes takes over a decade to complete. Our Research Labs Complex has made tremendous efforts in popularizing the technology for the use of herbicide in weed management for cotton cultivation. In this instance, our research center has developed high-yielding III-gene cotton varieties which are resistant to herbicides and all bollworms.
Following the vision to revolutionize Pakistan’s agricultural landscape by offering sustainable solutions, Four Brothers Seeds, presented CAZOLA – the mustard seed that will be a game-changer for the Pakistani farmers’ community. It took us 20 years of untiring research to come up with an oil seed that has set a new benchmark per acre yield with 30 mounds which could never exceed 16 to 18 mounds per acre in past. Cazola is a locally developed variety at our Research Farms and got approved with its highest yield and oil contents, it has taken over the market with the largest share and incredible admiration at the farmer level. An additive advantage of the brand is that it can act as a catalyst in the process of cotton revival in Pakistan which is the backbone of the economy. We are determined to help Pakistan become independent in edible oil production by maximizing Cazola’s cultivation as it will not only help minimize edible oil imports (the second largest import bill of the country) but will also bring prosperity to the growers.
