mainly sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and to some extent South Asia (SA), heavily rely
on non-improved and auto-saved variety seed, accounting for about 80% of their
material used for planting. Though the seed use figures by farmers vary from one
region to another, with West Africa showing the lowest rate of improved seed use
(below 20%) and South Asia with much higher rate (up to 70%), the overall situation
looks less encouraging. At the same time, substantial breakthroughs have been
made by breeding programs, and many more are still in the pipeline. Some of the
traits of recently developed varieties have targeted the consumers’ demands and
farmers’ preferences.","2020","published",,,,,"Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd","Singapore","1-2","2",,,,,"doi:10.1007/978-981-15-0845-5_1",,,,,"TRUE","978-981-15-0844-8",,"Sowing Legume Seeds, Reaping Cash",,,,,"","https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-15-0845-5_1","","",,"","",,,,,,"",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,,,,"","",,,,,
