Descripción
The favorable climate and environment of Tajikistan allow producing seed of the best varieties and hybrids for fulfilling local needs, as well it gives an opportunity to produce seed for export. Thus, the aim of the overall seed sector development should be not only producing seed for local needs, but it should also include the development of seed export, but this also allows to increase the productivity of the seed sector.
In the recent past plant breeding and seed production were financed totally from the government budget. However, due to the economic reforms and transfer to a market-based economy funding the sector has been reduced. As the result, along with the dominated public seed production, private seed production started to emerge and presently is at the start of its development. Although some of the individual seed farms have achieved good results on the introduction of new varieties, especially cereals and vegetables, variety testing, seed multiplication, and release, however, the present status of the seed sector in the country is not at satisfactory level. Hence, preparing and accepting the Seed sector development Concept, as a strategic document defining state policy on sector development is important.
