Canada is not a very large contributor in terms of hybrid pearl millet seed production as there are very few producers in Canada (Agriculture Environmental Renewal Canada, 2005). Speare Seeds is a Canadian company located Harriston, Ontario and specializes in an extensive variety of turf and forage seeds (Speare Seeds, n.d.).

This company has been serving Canadian farmers all across Canada for over 40 years (Speare Seeds, n.d.). They also acquire 20 full-time employees and 25 seasonal workers as well as use seed growers to produce their turf and forage seeds and seed blends (Hoewing, A., personal communication, October 02, 2016). They are able to offer a hybrid pearl millet seed that is enriched with high protein levels, and does not prussic acid while under high heat stress (Speare Seeds, n.d.).

AERC Inc. is another Canadian company that exports hybrid pearl millet seed. However, AERC Inc. sells this seed type for a higher value. This potentially makes it more expensive and possibly unaffordable for the majority of Nepalese farmers (Agriculture Environmental Renewal Canada, 2005).
