Our seed program, called 'Seeds2B' (Seeds-to-Business), was launched in 2012 with the goal of helping smallholder farmers improve their access to good quality seeds of the varieties they need. To date, the program is active in Africa and Asia by implementing several projects we co-finance with other donors on a wide range of crops (cereals, legumes, tubers, vegetables). Seeds2B follows a market-oriented approach, and its key features are catalyzing public-private partnerships along the seed and grain value chains, building the capacity of key seed stakeholders, identifying bottlenecks and solutions, and improving the policy environment.
