Opportunity exists for increased seed production of the persistent tropical legume Shaw creeping vigna (Vigna parkeri) in the Tweed and Richmond Valley districts of NSW.

The domestic and export seed market for Shaw creeping vigna has enormous potential to develop.

There is also demand from Florida in the US where Shaw flowers in December and frost prevents seed production.

A South American demand could be developed as well.
