Our Premium Sesbania Seeds
Kohenoor International supplies high-purity sesbania seeds processed at our state-of-the-art facility in Sindh, Pakistan. Every batch is tested for purity, germination rate, and phytosanitary compliance.
Premium cover crop seeds for the world's largest agricultural region. Restoring soil fertility across the Pampas, Cerrado, and beyond — from Pakistan's 3rd-generation family exporter since 1957.
South America stands at a crossroads. The continent that feeds the world is facing an urgent soil fertility crisis. After decades of intensive soy monoculture, aggressive cattle ranching, and rapid agricultural expansion into fragile ecosystems like the Cerrado and Amazon fringe, farmers across Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Paraguay, and Uruguay are seeking sustainable solutions that restore soil health while maintaining profitability.
Sesbania — a fast-growing, nitrogen-fixing leguminous plant — is emerging as one of the most effective cover crop solutions for South American agriculture. With the ability to fix 80-120 kg of nitrogen per hectare in just 45-60 days, sesbania reduces dependence on synthetic fertilizers, restores depleted soils, and qualifies farmers for carbon credit programs that are rapidly growing across the continent.
Kohenoor International, Pakistan's leading sesbania seed exporter since 1957, now supplies premium-grade sesbania seeds to agricultural buyers, cooperatives, government agencies, and agribusiness companies across South America. As a 3rd-generation family business with 69+ years of agricultural trade experience, we bring unmatched quality, reliability, and competitive pricing to this growing market.
South America is the world's agricultural powerhouse — but decades of intensive soy and cattle production have depleted soils across the continent. Sesbania offers a proven, natural solution that aligns with government incentives and the growing carbon credit economy.
The Pampas, Cerrado, and Amazon fringe represent over 200 million hectares of farmland. Intensive monoculture has reduced soil organic matter by 30-50% in many regions, creating urgent demand for nitrogen-fixing cover crops.
Continuous soy-corn rotation and cattle ranching have stripped the soil of essential nutrients. Argentina loses an estimated 80 million tonnes of soil annually. Brazil's Cerrado faces similar erosion pressure from expanding agriculture.
Argentina's Plan Nacional de Suelos and Brazil's ABC+ Plan (Plano Agricultura de Baixa Emissao de Carbono) both incentivize cover crop adoption. Farmers using sesbania can access subsidized credit and tax benefits.
South America's voluntary carbon market grew 400% since 2020. Sesbania-based cover cropping generates 0.5-1.5 tonnes CO2e per hectare in verified carbon credits under Verra VCS and Gold Standard protocols.
Why the continent's agricultural sector is turning to sustainable cover crops
Kohenoor International supplies high-purity sesbania seeds processed at our state-of-the-art facility in Sindh, Pakistan. Every batch is tested for purity, germination rate, and phytosanitary compliance.
Each South American market has unique agricultural needs and import requirements. Here is how sesbania seeds serve each country.
Key Application: Pampas rotation with soy/wheat. Argentina is a global leader in no-till farming (siembra directa), making sesbania an ideal cover crop companion.
Key Application: ABC+ Plan (Low-Carbon Agriculture), Cerrado restoration, and soy rotation in Mato Grosso, Goias, and Bahia.
Key Application: Post-conflict agricultural development, coffee region cover crops, and cattle ranch restoration in Llanos Orientales.
Key Application: Soy-intensive farming requires urgent rotation. Paraguay is the 4th largest soy exporter globally and soil depletion is accelerating.
Key Application: Wine region soil restoration in Central Valley and sesbania gum for copper mining operations in Atacama and Coquimbo.
Key Application: Coastal agriculture irrigation projects, asparagus/avocado farm cover crops, and sesbania gum for mining in Cajamarca and Cusco.
Key Application: Banana and cacao plantation cover crops on the coastal lowlands. Soil improvement for organic certification.
Key Application: Pasture improvement and soy rotation. Uruguay's Plan Nacional de Uso Responsable del Suelo encourages cover crop adoption.
From nitrogen fixation to industrial gum extraction, sesbania seeds serve diverse agricultural and industrial needs across the continent.
Fixes 80-120 kg N/ha through biological nitrogen fixation. Equivalent to 175-260 kg of urea, reducing fertilizer costs by 40-60% while restoring soil organic matter.
Restores degraded pastureland by breaking compacted soil layers, fixing nitrogen, and increasing organic matter. Ideal for Brazil's 170 million hectares of cattle pasture.
Rapid-growing sesbania provides shade and nitrogen for slower-growing native tree species in Amazon fringe, Cerrado, and Atlantic Forest restoration projects.
Generates 0.5-1.5 tonnes CO2e/ha in verified carbon credits. Qualifies under Verra VCS, Gold Standard, and regional programs. South American carbon credits trade at $8-25/tonne.
Galactomannan gum from sesbania seeds is used as a flocculant in copper, gold, and lithium mining. Chile (world #1) and Peru (world #2) in copper production are key markets.
Suppresses weeds, prevents erosion, and enriches soil in Chilean wine regions, Peruvian avocado farms, and Argentine olive groves without competing with primary crops.

Common questions about sesbania seeds for South American agriculture and industry.
South America's voluntary carbon market is one of the fastest-growing in the world. Sesbania-based cover cropping is a verified pathway to generate carbon credits while improving farm profitability.
A typical 1,000-hectare soy farm in Argentina or Brazil incorporating sesbania as a cover crop can generate 500-1,500 verified carbon credits annually, worth $4,000-$37,500 at current market prices — in addition to the direct soil fertility benefits and reduced fertilizer costs.
