Foundation of Banana hardening unit (Nursery)

In 2002 Mr. Vishwas Chavan-Patil completed his MSc. Degree in Agrochemicals & Pest Management from The Shivaji University Kolhapur, Maharashtra & joined his father to help in agriculture. He got traditional knowledge of agriculture, keen observation, and a passion for advanced technology from his father. In this period Chavan family got assured income from the plantation of tissue culture banana plants. During visiting different banana tissue culture laboratories, Vishwas Chavan got an Idea to start their own banana hardening unit. In 2002 he started a small Tissue culture banana plant nursery (Hardening unit). To set up the nursery (Hardening unit) on a 1000 m2 area, the required capital was Rs. 2.00 lakh & own capital at that time was only Rs. 30000/-. Mr.VishwasChavan reduced the labor cost by digging pits for shade net by own & material cost by purchasing scrap structural material. Due to the excellent quality of plants, humble service & strong technical support to farmers, the nursery became popular in the area. Next year nursery expanded to a 2000 m2 area.

Entry into Tissue Culture Plant Production

Due to the increasingly positive response from customers, Vishwas Chavan Patil started their own Banana Tissue culture lab as 'Seema Biotech' with an annual one million plant production capacity. Now our banana tissue culture lab has an annual 4 million plant production capacity & supplies quality plants in almost all states of India. In 2016 our company started production of tissue culture teak plants. Now we supply about 0.5 million tissue culture teak plants all over India. In 2019 the company established a new tissue culture lab for the production of Bamboo Plants, having an annual production capacity of 1 million plants. We are supplying bamboo plants to private & government agencies also. In 2020 the company started the production of tissue culture plants of floriculture & ornamental plants.
