Vegetable Seed Project
Switzerland is recognizing the importance of high quality vegetable seed production through the promotion of private-public partnership among producer cooperatives, NGOs and private seed entrepreneurs in the seed sector. Producing seeds through farmers groups and cooperatives has been a successful approach, which allows a sustainable national seed production. The goal of VSP-III is to have improved food security and income for the poor and disadvantaged households in remote areas of Nepal. VSP-III will have two major focuses: 1) farm families from poor and DAGs produce and sell quality seeds; and 2) National Seed Board, Nepal Agriculture Research Council and Department of Agriculture enforce decentralised seed production and quality control through public and private institutions. VSP has proven synergies with other SDC supported agricultural projects, such as the Hill Maize Research Project in promoting seed related market and policy issues and the Home garden project in promoting diversification of vegetable production.
