Challenges of the Flower Seed Industry

Kalkame Ch. Momin

Abstract :

Seed is the most important input component for productive agriculture. The expansion of seed industry has occurred in parallel with growth in agricultural productivity. Given the fact that sustained growth to cope with increasing demand would depend more and more on the pace of development and adoption of innovative technologies, the seed would continue to be a vital component for decades to come. The organized seed industry of the country is just forty years old. Yet, its growth has been phenomenal. The private seed industry is no more confined to just production and marketing of seed. It has as well acquired technological strength to cater to the varietal needs of tomorrow. There are about 150 organized seed companies in India today. Several companies have Government of India recognized research and development departments and have released a large number of varieties and hyids in several crops. The contribution of private research in terms of value is steadily increasing.
