“According to Access to Seeds Index 2019 Report, there is an inadequate supply of seeds by the formal system in index countries, certified seeds are supplied by companies and government bodies. In many countries, the quantities available do not meet farmer demand. In addition, seeds of popular varieties are not available at the right time or place during the planting season. A lack of harmonized supply chain to facilitate the movement of seeds within and between countries further hampers adequate supply. Farmers are therefore calling upon companies to increase the supply of certified quality seeds in index countries.”
