About

Asia Seed Co., Ltd. is a South Korean vegetable seed company founded in 1975 and headquartered in Seoul, developing and distributing hybrid vegetable seed varieties for both domestic and export markets. The company's primary breeding focus covers Chinese cabbage (baechu), radish, hot pepper, tomato, cucumber, pumpkin and watermelon varieties adapted to Korean growing conditions and consumer preferences. Asia Seed operates breeding and selection stations in South Korea and collaborates with multiplier seed production operations in warm-climate locations to manage seed stock supply. Products are supplied to commercial vegetable growers, greenhouse operators and wholesale nurseries across South Korea. Export programmes target East and Southeast Asian markets where Korean vegetable varieties, particularly Chinese cabbage and pepper types adapted to kimchi fermentation specifications, command premium positioning. The company distributes internationally through seed distribution agents and direct accounts in Japan, China, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Malaysia and Taiwan. Asia Seed competes in a market segment requiring close attention to heat tolerance, virus resistance and post-harvest shelf life specifications aligned with fresh market and processing buyer requirements.

Protect Your Money Before You Pay+

Safe Bets (You can get a refund)

  • Credit cards
  • PayPal (specifically "Goods and Services")
  • Escrow services (where your money is held safely until the goods actually arrive)
  • Letter of Credit (best for large, bulk orders)

Red Flags (Your money is gone for good)

  • Wire transfers to personal bank accounts
  • Crypto
  • Western Union or MoneyGram
  • Gift cards

The ultimate warning sign: If a supplier refuses cards or escrow and only pushes for non-reversible payment methods, walk away immediately. This is the number one sign of a scam. Either insist on escrow or drop the deal.

Double-check the names: The name on the bank account must perfectly match the officially registered company name. If it doesn't, stop right there.

First-time orders: Always use an independent escrow service for your first order. This ensures the supplier only gets paid after you have the goods in hand.
