"Large quantities of free or subsidized seed have been distributed to small-scale farmers in Mozambique under postwar\r\nresettlement and drought/flood relief programs. A joint study by ICRISAT and World Vision assessed the\r\nimpact of relief seed distribution, the adoption of new varieties distributed through relief programs, and the\r\nperformance of local seed systems. While there was undoubtedly a need for well-targeted emergency assistance,\r\nseed losses associated with war, drought, and floods appear to have been overestimated. Village seed systems are\r\nremarkably efficient in meeting seed requirements and maintaining varietal diversity, even under drought or flood\r\nconditions. However, there remains scope for improving household seed selection and storage practices. In\r\naddition, sustainable seed supply systems (both community-level and commercial) are needed to improve the\r\naccess of small-scale farmers to new varieties.\r\nDespite the massive demand for seed for public distribution efforts, domestic production capabilities remain\r\nsmall, and most seed is still imported. The problems include shortages of breeder seed, poor market\r\ninfrastructure, high marketing costs, uncertainty about levels of commercial seed demand, and farmer\r\ndependence on free seed. Specific recommendations are offered for strengthening both local and commercial\r\nseed supply systems in Mozambique."^^ . "2000" . . .
