With aim identifying seed (maize and paddy) insecurehouseholds of one particular village, this study has examined the seed security level of randomlyselected households living at Pawati-8 in Nepal. The match pair-mean comparison test was usedto compare seed security level in the pro-disaster seasons (2015 and 2016) with seed securitylevel in normal season. The findings suggest that the higher proportion of households (nearlydouble) were paddy insecure than maize seed in the season 2015. However the maize insecurehouseholds have sowed lower proportion of seed (by 6%)than the paddy insecure households inthe same season.
