Overview

Seedling Propagation focuses on improved seeds and planting materials so that farmers begin each season with quality inputs for wet-season and dry-season production.

Why this programme exists

The programme is proposed to improve farmer access to quality seedlings and planting material, which directly determines yield potential.

Poor-quality planting material caps productivity regardless of how much mechanization or input support a farmer receives.

Objectives

Access to improved seeds.
Availability of quality planting materials.
Wet-season production support.
Dry-season production support.
Improved yield and productivity.
Targeted agricultural intervention where input access is weakest.

Expected outcomes

Stated as programme intentions, not reported achievements.

  • Designed to improve access to quality planting material.
  • Expected to raise yields for participating farmers.
  • Aims to support nursery and propagation enterprise.
