Hybrid Maize Seed Brand Positioning Study (Central India)
OBJECTIVE
A pan-India seed brand sought to understand how small maize growers , progressive farmers , and dealer-influenced buyers compared hybrid options, interpreted performance claims, and selected brands across districts with differing irrigation and crop-risk profiles.
WHAT WE DID
We ran a structured quantitative study across six maize belts, balancing farm size, irrigation, and brand tenure while capturing awareness , claim credibility , dealer influence , trial history, expected yield, and willingness to switch.
DELIVERED
The engagement produced a brand preference map , message territories , district-level switching triggers, and a channel lever framework showing where demonstration plots, dealer advocacy, and proof-based claims carried the greatest influence across grower segments.
