Business skills for small- scale seed producers: handbooks for small-scale seed producers: a trainer’s guide. Handbook 3.

Accessing good quality seed is a problem faced by small- scale farmers throughout Africa. One solution to this dilemma is developing local level seed enterprises. The handbook “Business skills for seed producers” is intended for use by small-scale farmers, business people and rural institutions such as schools and churches interested in producing seed of various crops for sale. It is written for people who have no formal training or experience in seed production. This handbook is a guide for trainers who are supporting small-scale seed enterprise development.
