SEED
• Seed is a key input of overpowering agricultural
production constraints; low yields, pests
resistances, quality produce etc
• Seed is a catalyst for making other agricultural
inputs cost-effective
• Quality seeds increases food production
• Quality seeds are a product of a functional seed
system
• Seed is a commodity for trade
4
SEED SYSTEM
• A seed system is a vehicle through which farmers
get good quality seed of improved crop varieties
they want and need
• The actors in a seed system are crop researchers,
seed producers, seed distributors, seed quality
regulators, extension staffs, policy makers and
farmers
• Collaboration between all actors of a system is
crucial to increasing agricultural production
quickly and economically.

EVOLUTION OF SEED SECTOR IN AFRICA
• Development of improved varieties, mainly
hybrids
• Evolution of seed technology: capacity
development in human and infrastructure
resources
• Development of domestic and international seed
markets: involvement of the private seed sector
• Development in Regulatory Framework
7
Regulatory Framework
• Seed regulations are put in place to facilitate
collaboration between the public and private
seed sectors in producing quality seeds
• Most countries in Africa have some type of seed
regulations
• However gaps exists in many national seed
regulatory frameworks in these countries
8
Existing gaps
• Outdated and ambiguous national seed policies and regulations that
limit the Africa seed sector cope with the changes in the global seed
industry
• absence or weak Plant Breeders Rights in many countries
• Low membership to international organizations: UPOV, OECD, ISTA etc.
• Weak or absence of National Seed Trade Association
• Low capacity of human and infrastructural resources to effectively produce
and test quality seeds
• Absence of facilitation for cross border movement of quality seeds
• The Africa seed market value is rated at about 1/10 of the
global market value

 Production issues (biotic and abiotic stresses)
Constraints of Vegetable Production
Quality, stress-tolerances
Improved production
technologies
Capacity-building among
producers
14
WHAT NEED TO BE DONE
African governments cannot confront challenges of the
seed sector individually. There is need to support each
other in
• Reviewing seed policies and legislation to facilitate
the development of the modern seed sector.
• Strengthening Public Private Partnership in the seed
sector to facilitate flow of improved quality seeds
among countries.
• Supporting the emergence of private seed sector
and strengthening local and regional seed
associations.
• Fast track implementation regional seed regulations
to facilitate cross border quality seed movement

EVOLUTION OF THE SEED SECTOR IN AFRICA

  • 1. The Evolution of the Seed Sector in Africa `Regulatory Framework and Cooperation in Seed Industry Development’ Launching of Regional Seed Committee 3-4 August, 2015 Abidjan, Ivory Coast By Grace Gitu Seed Expert AFSTA, Nairobi 1
  • 2. AFSTA - AFRICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION • Established in 2000 to promote development of private seed enterprises in Africa • Secretariat hosted in Nairobi, Kenya with regional office in Dakar, Senegal • Members; • Seed Trade Associations (Africa and away) • Individual seed companies • Others; AVRDC, IFDC, CLS, IRCISAT etc 2 AFSTA
  • 3. AFSTA MISSION To promote trade in improved quality seeds and technologies in Africa for the benefit of farmers and AFSTA members 3 AFSTA Member countries
  • 4. SEED • Seed is a key input of overpowering agricultural production constraints; low yields, pests resistances, quality produce etc • Seed is a catalyst for making other agricultural inputs cost-effective • Quality seeds increases food production • Quality seeds are a product of a functional seed system • Seed is a commodity for trade 4
  • 5. SEED SYSTEM • A seed system is a vehicle through which farmers get good quality seed of improved crop varieties they want and need • The actors in a seed system are crop researchers, seed producers, seed distributors, seed quality regulators, extension staffs, policy makers and farmers • Collaboration between all actors of a system is crucial to increasing agricultural production quickly and economically. 5
  • 7. EVOLUTION OF SEED SECTOR IN AFRICA • Development of improved varieties, mainly hybrids • Evolution of seed technology: capacity development in human and infrastructure resources • Development of domestic and international seed markets: involvement of the private seed sector • Development in Regulatory Framework 7
  • 8. Regulatory Framework • Seed regulations are put in place to facilitate collaboration between the public and private seed sectors in producing quality seeds • Most countries in Africa have some type of seed regulations • However gaps exists in many national seed regulatory frameworks in these countries 8
  • 9. Existing gaps • Outdated and ambiguous national seed policies and regulations that limit the Africa seed sector cope with the changes in the global seed industry • absence or weak Plant Breeders Rights in many countries • Low membership to international organizations: UPOV, OECD, ISTA etc. • Weak or absence of National Seed Trade Association • Low capacity of human and infrastructural resources to effectively produce and test quality seeds • Absence of facilitation for cross border movement of quality seeds • The Africa seed market value is rated at about 1/10 of the global market value 9 Regulatory Framework
  • 10. 10 Evolution of global Seed market 1970- 2011
  • 11. Seed Market Value Per Continent(ISF) by 2011 11
  • 12. Emerging Diseases -Maize Lethal Necrosis Disease (MLND) Symptoms 12
  • 13. Distribution of some Pathogens in Africa 13
  • 14.  Production issues (biotic and abiotic stresses) Constraints of Vegetable Production Quality, stress-tolerances Improved production technologies Capacity-building among producers 14
  • 15. WHAT NEED TO BE DONE African governments cannot confront challenges of the seed sector individually. There is need to support each other in • Reviewing seed policies and legislation to facilitate the development of the modern seed sector. • Strengthening Public Private Partnership in the seed sector to facilitate flow of improved quality seeds among countries. • Supporting the emergence of private seed sector and strengthening local and regional seed associations. • Fast track implementation regional seed regulations to facilitate cross border quality seed movement 15
