 INTRODUCTION

 Seed culture in Ivory coast Africa,Productivity was less

 The Ivorian State to withdraw from certain productive and marketing
activities in favour of the private sector
 In order to help small farmers, a number of community seed production
initiatives aimed at helping producers produce quality seed
 Despite the results, proper structure wasn’t maintained and had to face
several problems.
 To overcome these problems, Seed production and rice marketing
Cooperatives and cyber seeds were formed
 BACKGROUND

 The structural adjustment policies of the 1980s led the Ivorian State to withdraw
from certain productive and marketing activities in favour of the private sector.
 In the seed sector, the role of government services has since then been confined to
planning, legislation, quality control, certification, training and the production.
 National Rice Programme, the National Rural Development Support Agency and
various NGOs, experienced members are selected and trained to produce seed.
 The market was already well-known in advance and the price is negotiated,
reviewed and fixed within the cooperative.
 Cyber-seed is a computerized information system managed by a
farmers’organization.
 OBJECTIVES

 Support for the production of quality seed;

 Monitoring of seed plots;
 Seed collection and stock management;
 Data collection, management and dissemination.
 CHALLENGES

 Indian Farmers are mainly dependent on traditional methods of agriculture

and their own traditional methods of working and will be resistant to change.
 Testing protocols & standards.
 Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) policy enforced by the government to
protect the rights of cyber seeds.
 Technological Infrastructure of our country is weak.
 There is a probability of the data breach.
 The provisions Information Technology Act (IT Act) laid out by the
Government of India.
COST ANALYSIS OF THE PROJECT
 KEY TO SUCCESS

INTERNAL FACTORS
 experience and expertise
 keenness to succeed
 cost-effective
 modest size
EXTERNAL FACTORS
 Government
 National rice programme and the CBSS
 ADVANTAGES OF THE PROJECT

 Large number of communities helping producers produce

 quality seed- with the help of national rice programme
 Increase in rice seed and quality
 Reduce in unit costs of seed production
 Cyber seeds
 Organised members are selected and trained
 Marketing committee
 Stable price
 Rice production has become less risky
 disadvantages
 The role of government services were confined to
 Planning
 Legislation
 Quality control certification
 Training and the production of pre-base and base seed by national research
institute
 Private sector is responsible for the multiplication and marketing of certified
seed.
 Disposal of seed
 Producers lack of organisation
 Lack of access to financing and
 Lack of information on seeds marketing
 future implication and impact on Indian
agriculture
 IMPACT
1. Seed cooperatives
2. Greater proficiency in sowing
3. Facilitation of seed sales
 FUTURE IMPLICATIONS
1. The Cyber-seed network should be expanded to other departments
2. Capacity-building for Cyber-seed administrators should be pursued
3. Cooperatives should be encouraged to offer financial motivation to farmer quality agents
4. The National Seed Observatory’s website should be boosted by creating links with other sites
 CONCLUSION

 By taking charge of seed production, using the special skills of experienced

producers, the cooperative can guarantee a sure outlet for seed producers.
 The Cyber-seeds have made a major contribution to improved information
on seed markets.
