In agriculture, success is built on more than just hard work—it’s about combining the right technology, knowledge, and understanding of local conditions. SMC Hi-Bred Phils, Inc. has mastered this balance, merging over 150 years of global and local agribusiness experience to deliver hybrid corn seeds that truly work for Filipino farmers.

While many seed companies rely on generic solutions, SMC Hi-Bred adopts a “glocal” approach—using world-class breeding techniques and adapting them to the Philippines’ unique climates and soils. This ensures that their hybrid corn varieties aren’t just high-yield in theory but proven performers in real Filipino farms.

From weather-resilient seeds to pest-resistant varieties, SMC Hi-Bred’s innovations empower farmers to increase yield, improve income, and build more sustainable livelihoods. More than just a supplier, the company is a trusted partner—offering technical support, training, and a community where growers can thrive.

By uniting global expertise with local understanding, SMC Hi-Bred is shaping the future of Philippine agriculture, one harvest at a time.
