Jaffee, S. | Srivastava, J.
This paper analyzes the appropriate roles for the private and public sectors in seed supply systems. It examines the technical and economic characteristics of seed and of the wide range of varietal development and seed production and marketing functions which are required to produce and disseminate improved seeds. This analysis serves to define the scope for private sector (and farmer) involvement to identify the critical and complementary roles which the public sector must play in support of an efficient, yet socially responsible seed system. The paper also examines global trends in seed supply (including the current mix of public and private sector roles) and reviews selected experiences in the development of private sector and farmer-based seed production and marketing activities.
