This study stresses the need for the
countries in Sub-Saharan Africa to put in place a seed
system which would meet the seed needs of a wide range of
farmers, classified according to their risk tolerance
capacity and resource endowments. Obviously, a single
strategy cannot meet this objective. The study therefore
recommends a mix of strategies, and argues for a
"fit" between the country concerned and the seed
system. It also examines the relationship between the seed
system and other services to farmers such as research,
extension, rural infrastructure and marketing. In the light
of a detailed analysis of the issues relevant to seed
systems, it examines the options available to the
policymakers in the countries while setting up seed systems
or modifying an existing one, and the implications of each
of the options. |
