African Seed Enterprises Sowing the Seeds of Food Security

FAO and AfricaRice joined efforts to document, throughout Africa, success stories of small and medium-sized seed enterprises dealing with non-hybrid food crops and identify the factors behind their success. The cases presented in this book provide an overview of the current status of the African seed sector, and associated challenges and opportunities. They form a solid basis for a broad-based discussion on how to strengthen the sector to the benefit of food security across the continent.
