The U.S. Seed Industry: An Exploration of Statistics Highlighting the Economic Activity of the U.S. Row Crop Seed Industry
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Roucan-Kane,   Maud; Gray,   Allan W.
This report presents relevant statistics that highlight the economic activity of the U.S. seed industry. The focus of this report is on the four main U.S. crops: corn, soybean, wheat, and cotton. The report contains three sections. The first is related to the U.S. seed market’s size based on seed sales and expenditures. The second section examines industry investment in research and development (R&amp;D) activity in terms of both budget and human resources. The final section illustrates the impact of the seed industry in terms of intellectual property development, improved productivity, and other benefits. This report focuses on using publicly available data to examine these three areas. In addition, the report presents the results of a survey conducted...

The Seed Industry for Dryland Crops in Eastern Kenya
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Muhammad,   Lutta; Njoroge,   Kiarie; Bett,   Charles; Mwangi,   Wilfred; Verkuijl,   Hugo; De Groote,   Hugo.
The development and promotion of improved crop varieties as well as efficient seed production, distribution, and marketing systems have contributed significantly to increased agricultural production and food security in Kenya. However, these impacts have not been replicated in the semi-arid midlands due to climatic, soil, and institutional factors. Following the liberalization of agriculture in the late 1980s, there has been greater participation of the private sector, non-governmental organizations, and voluntary agencies in the area. This study examined the extent to which these developments affected farmers’ access to dryland crops. The study found that the low quantity of seed traded, high cost of production, and high seed supply prices constrained the...

An analysis of the bottlenecks affecting the production and deployment of maize seed in Eastern and Southern Africa
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Langyintuo,   Augustine S.; Mwangi,   Wilfred; Diallo,   Alpha O.; MacRobert,   John F.; Dixon,   John; Banziger,   Marianne.
The publication describes outcomes of a study conducted in 2007/08 to analyze the bottlenecks affecting the production and deployment of maize seed in eastern and southern Africa. The objectives of the study were to provide a better understanding of the factors limiting the production and deployment of improved maize seed in Africa, and to contribute to increasing the efficiency of variety release, seed production and seed dissemination for new drought tolerant maize varieties. The study identified a number of institutional bottlenecks affecting the maize seed value chain, in particular in the area of policy, credit availability, seed production, germplasm and marketing. To address these bottlenecks and improve the efficiency of seed production and...

Supplying Improved Seed to Farmers in Rural Kenya: The Case of Freshco Kenya Ltd.
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mabaya,   Edward T.; Cramer,   Laura K.; Mahiga,   Veronica K.; Pham,   Huong Q.; Simpson,   Tara M.; Tang,   Xiaowei C.
Freshco, a small producer and distributor of hybrid maize seed and macadamia seedlings, was one of the first private companies to enter the Kenya seed market after its liberalization. Currently, the company produces and markets six high yielding maize varieties that are suited for diverse agro-ecological conditions. Despite the company’s encouraging growth in the local maize seed market, Freshco’s executives recognize the need to scale up operations to stay competitive. The company’s challenge is to recognize business opportunities and customer needs in an environment susceptible to ecological, political, and socioeconomic change.

Seed technology training in the year 2000
Provedor de dados: 63
Autores: McDonald,M.B.; Marcos-Filho,J.; Bino,R.J.
Seed quality will remain the centerpiece of successful agricultural programs in the year 2000. As new changes occur in agriculture driven by advancements in biotechnology, seed enhancement technologies, a more diverse seed user clientele, and communication technologies, successful seed companies will require a knowledgeable and informed workforce to assure high seed quality. A new approach to seed technology training is professed that relies on the establishment of a three-institution consortium to achieve this objective. Advantages of the consortium are identified that emphasize the unique strengths of each institution, their geographic advantages representing major climactic/agricultural zones in the world, and differing approaches to seed technology...

Autores: Varapong Camarerk.
Concerning the benefits of genetic engineering to small farmers, some people may think about apomixis. This characteristic can be used to produce seeds that are genetically identical to the mother plants. This article discusses about a research progress on apomixis in crops made by several research groups and its impact on seed industries, small farmers and the environment.
