The Ministry of Agriculture coordinates overall seed policy direction for country, and so the Ministry-AMDT partnership is strategic and aims at inclusive seed system growth. On the other hand, Tari through its Ilonga research facility, undertakes demand-driven seed breeding program, while the three large scale agriculture investors in Singida, Tanga, Morogoro and Mbeya regions are responsible for the large-scale production and distribution of the improved seeds to smallholders. This include raising awareness to the farmers on the efficacy of improved seeds” adds Mr Zuberi.
