Cowpea is a major staple food crop in the dry savanna region of sub-Saharan Africa, and a major source of plant proteins and vitamins for man and feed for animals. Over the years, IITA breeders have developed improved high yielding, early maturing drought tolerant varieties which has helped boost farmers’ yield and productivity. IITA GoSeed produces and sells early generation cowpea seeds to top seed companies in and outside of Nigeria.
