| Abstract: |
His_ Majesty's Government of Nepal (HMGIN) is paying a great attention for ensuring the use of
quality seed by the general farmers through different plans, policies, progranunes and legislation
involving many stakeholders. However, during the Ninth Five-Year Plan period the area expansion
was negligible and the production and productivity increment was not found satisfactory.
Similarly, the supply of foundation seed by the public sector was less than 20 %. The supply of
improved vegetable seed was mainly through private sector, farmers to farmers and through
import. The seed supplied through private sector and import including hybrids was increased by
two-folds whereas farmers to farmers 'seed supply amol!nt decreased by around 44 %in 2001/2002
as compared to the 1997198. Seed quality situation was analyzed very seriously and key issues and
constraints for the successful growth and development of the seed industry were found and
reported It is recommeiuled that necessary action to be taken to implement seed law through-out.
the country, regulari(tltion of import of seed, effective monitoring and co-ordination among
stakeholders, assured supply of breeder seed and mandatory seed certification of foundation seed,
development of hybrid varieties, registration of landraces, effective database management and
feedback system has to be established for the sustainable seed industry. Similarly other points like
preparation of standard varietal descriptors, use of farmers' co-operative, establishment of seed
sale point, buffer stocking, sound organizational climate, seed village concept for cross-pollinated
crops, and commodity unbiased project planning and implememation are also equally important. |
