Niger seeds are primarily cultivated in India, Myanmar, and several African countries. Among these, India and African nations such as Ethiopia and Nigeria are recognized as major producers due to their ideal climatic conditions and traditional farming practices. The crop thrives in high-altitude, well-drained soils and requires minimal input, making it an eco-friendly and sustainable crop option.

At V Ganesh Agro Foods Pvt. Ltd., we source Niger seeds directly from trusted farmers and cooperatives in India and Africa, ensuring consistent quality, traceability, and ethical sourcing.

Usage & Applications

✅ Bird Feed Industry

Niger seeds have been used for over 40 years in bird feeding, particularly for finches, goldfinches, siskins, redpolls, and other wild birds. The small size and high fat content make them a preferred bird feed ingredient. Their shells are thin and easy for birds to crack, making them ideal for small-beaked species.

✅ Oil Extraction

Niger seed oil is light, pale yellow in color, with a pleasant nutty flavor. It is used as edible cooking oil in some countries and in the production of biodiesel, soaps, and natural cosmetics due to its emollient and antioxidant properties.
