Sunflower cultivation is another key area where Nassa Birale Agricultural Development excels, contributing significantly to Ethiopia’s oilseed industry. Grown across the company’s expansive and fertile farmland, sunflowers thrive under mechanized farming techniques and sustainable agricultural practices. These methods not only enhance productivity but also ensure the production of high-quality seeds that meet the standards of both local and global markets.
The sunflower crop plays an important role in Nassa’s strategy to diversify its agricultural portfolio. Known for their high oil content, the seeds are valuable for producing sunflower oil—an essential household product with rising demand. Through crop rotation and integrated farming systems, Nassa maximizes soil fertility and reduces environmental stress, ensuring continuous, healthy harvests.
