| Abstract: |
Rice is one of the major crop in Nepal and is cultivated in diverse agro-ecosystem through
out the country. National Rice Research program (NRRP) produces source seed of rice to
meet the ever-increasing demand. The program produced 57 ton and 7.53 ton of breeder and
foundation seed during 2002/03. For the last 10 years, the demand of rice seed has been in
increasing trend. This is a positive indication for replacement of improved rice seed and
increased rice production. Officially, seeds are supplied to the grower through Nepal
Agriculture Research Council farms/stations, NGO's, INGO's and lor Nepal seed companies.
However 90% of improved quality rice seed is fulfilled through exchange among the
farmers. Only 0. 5% quality rice seed is supplied by GO INGO... Thus there is a tremendous
prospect of improving seed supply system for increasing rice production and ensuring food
security. |
