• Case Study
• Conclusion
Presentation breakup
• The Indian agriculture sector accounts for 13.9 per cent of
India's gross domestic product (GDP) and employs just a little less
than 54.6 per cent of the country's workforce.
• The Department of Agriculture and Cooperation under the
Ministry of Agriculture is the nodal organisation responsible for
the development of the agriculture sector in India.
• The Immediate challenge to the Ministry of Agriculture, is to
sustain the increasing agricultural output of the country. This can
be addressed by developing Technology transfer and seed
Innovation systems.
• Indian seed sector is characterized by diverse crops & vegetables
with both public and pvt sector playing pivotal role .

 Worlds biggest Research System
 India has a mega public sector in agricultural research. There
are 60 agriculture universies, 4 deemed universies and 4 central
universities having agricultural faculty. There are 45 central
institutes,17 national research centers, 25 project directorates,
and 630 Krishi Vikas Kendra More than 35000 agricultural
scientists are working in this public sector

 Of the various technological interventions seed
is considered as critical basic input for aiming
sustained long term growth in agricultural
production
 Without good seed, investment like fertilizer,
water, pesticides and other input will not pay
the desired dividends
 Agriculture is backbone of our nation while
seed is the backbone of Agriculture
12/10/2015Varietal Research and Development Centre, Dharwad 5
 Seed firms – an important agent in the innovation
system - major concern is in making profit out of
investment on technology development.
 Establishing an innovative seed system for transfer
of technology is need of the hour to enhance
productivity and food security of the nation. PPP is an
effort in that direction.
 In this regard, the role of policy in catering to the
interest of various stakeholders as well as facilitating
the overall growth of the sector becomes crucial.

 Seed systems are generally considered to be either formal (commercial) or
informal (farmer‐led).
 Formal seed systems usually consist of public and private sector research (plant
breeding)
 institutions, public and private sector agencies bulking up seed, mostly private
sector companies distributing and marketing seed, and mostly public sector
organisations responsible for seed certification and quality control. In formal seed
systems, all parts of the seed production, processing and marketing chain are
subject to regulation, inspection and certification.
 Informal seed systems comprise large numbers of farmers who produce both
traditional(landrace) and modern (improved) varieties with no regulatory
oversight. They save, process and store seed for their own use as well as sharing it
with their relations, neighbours and other local community members through
exchange, barter, gifts and sales. Help in conservation of biodiversity. Mainly
farmers & NGOs are involved.

Indian Seed Industry Value
The private sector is playing a
vital role. The number of
companies engaged in seed
production or seed trade is of
the order of 400 or 500.
12/10/2015Varietal Research and Development Centre, Dharwad 10
As per available data, the availability
of quality seed is sufficient to meet our
requirement
Source: Directorate of Economics & Statistics, Ministry of Agriculture, GOI
Seeds of new improved varieties are not
available to the farmers at right time and
place
Production of certified seed by following an efficient chain of
BS-FS-CS is still a major concern.

 A public-private partnership is a contractual agreement
between a public agency (federal, state or local) and a
private sector entity. Through this agreement, skills and
assets of each sector (public and private) are shared in
delivering a service or a facility for the use of the general
public. In addition to the sharing of the resources, each party
shares risks and rewards potential in the delivery of the
service and/or the facility.

Scope
 Adoption of Public Private Partnerships (PPP)
helps to create a sustainable structure for
adoption of hybrid seeds, improve crop
management practices, thus creating market
linkages towards a better price discovery
12/10/2015Varietal Research and Development Centre, Dharwad 23
 In India many farmers lack awareness and
benefits of improved seeds and crop management
practices.
 Innovative approaches were required to
researching the fields, practicing Parent Seed
Multiplication, developing infrastructure and
training growers for field production, processing
the results and create acceptance among very
large numbers of small farmers spread across
large geography.

 •IP protection is difficult,
-but can often be overcome.
–On paper easier than within human resources. –
Critical to understand as clearly as possible the
fine line between competitive and pre-competitive
space, between what can and should be shared
and what can not.
–Confidentiality and stewardship are often larger
concerns.
–Availability of experts as resources often a larger
concern.

 There is as much diversity between institutions as
between regions
—and this needs to be respected.
–Difficult to do when organizations do not fully
understand each other.
–Difficult to do when organizations do not fully
understand themselves - their own capabilities
and limitations.
–Communication—within partnership and with
external stakeholders—is essential.

The major share of investments in agriculture by the private sector pertains to
Seed and Biotechnology Research, which is about 33% of the total budget.
 Complexity in seed production
 Precision in crop management under seed
production
 Maintaining timelines
 Understanding the basic difference from normal
seed production
 Requires training on regulatory, environment &
seed handling & quality aspects.
 Institutional financing (poly house prdoduction of
vegetables) & subsidies for inputs
12/10/2015

Indian farmer is poor needs financing to support seed
production
- Govt support (subsidy on inputs)
- Bank loans (Banks shy away from making such loans)
-Flexibility with ensuring an integrated value chain
approach, covering all aspects from production to
marketing.
-Organize and market specialized training courses in input
supply, seed production, crop management and
extension methods, on a cost recovery basis, for private
organizations in the seed, crop and agro-input sectors.

 It is beyond doubt that public-private- partnership in seed sector is
critical for future growth of Indian agriculture
 Now a time has come where the private sector will have to join hands with
the public sector to cater to the resource poor farmers.
 Public institution bred hybrids and OPVs of field crops have been
commercialized by the private sector through nonexclusive licensing.
 The success of licensing PRH-10 by IARI to 18 seed companies paved way
to several replications of the P-P-P model.
 Hybrids and parental lines of vegetables developed by
 Indian Institute of Vegetable Research (IIVR), Varanasi,
 Indian Institute of Horticulture Research (IIHR), Bangalore and
 Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), New Delhi
shared with the private seed sector for commercialization and breeding
purposes through non-exclusive licensing.

 India has the fifth largest vegetable oil economy in the world. After
cereals, oilseeds are the second largest agricultural commodity,
accounting for the 14% of the gross cropped area in the country
 Production of soybean in India is dominated by Maharashtra(50lakhMT)
and Madhya Pradesh (60 lakhMT)which contribute 89 per cent of the
total production
 Vidarbha constitutes 15.6 percent of Maharashtra’s GDP. However
despite its inherent strengths and a rich resource base, it is felt that
Vidarbha has not been able to attain its full potential. Government of
Maharashtra is keen to improve the standard of living of farmers in
Vidarbha and have taken several initiatives in this regard. The two
flagship programmes launched by State Government are (a) PPPIAD
programme and (b) CAIM (Convergence of Agriculture Intervention

 Maharashtra government has initiated a Private-Public Partnership (PPP) for
Integrated Agriculture Development (PPP-IAD) project under the World Economic
Forum’s (WEF) “New Agriculture Initiative (2012)
 WEF has chosen Maharashtra as the only region along with four countries
Tanzania, Vietnam, Indonesia and Mexico.
 The idea is to create a value-chain in agriculture by involving corporates that will
work with farmers’ groups or associations from production to marketing stage.
 Twenty-two companies, 12 of them private sugar mills, have been selected and
have agreed to partner with such group in everything — from inputs and
processing to marketing.
 They will be working in seven categories of produces — sugar, cotton, oilseed,
pulses, fruits, vegetables and poultry.
 The companies and the farmers will draw benefit of subsidies and
financial support for 38 state and Central government schemes for
these categories of produces.

 A partnership with the Department of Agriculture, Government of
Uttar Pradesh, India, initiated a two year project in 150 blocks of 26
rice growing districts of Uttar Pradesh,
 To deliver hybrid rice and mustard to small and marginal farmers, to
help optimize farmer inputs and improve net income.
 The objective of this alliance is to adopt "Farm School Models", where
farmers are trained on seed sampling, provided agronomic and technical
training along with crop advisory services, during the critical stages of
development. The model is scalable year over year based on the
performance.
 A technical committee comprising of research and extension officers
from the Department of Agriculture and DuPont Pioneer will formulate
the right practices suitable to the specific growing conditions.

 The usage of farm saved seed is to be reduced and farmers are to be
encouraged to use quality seed to increase productivity levels
 The rising vital role of Pvt industry in seed sector has lead to emergence of
Scientific seed supply chain management.
 Ensuring Seed quality is utmost important in BS-FS-CS chain. Quality
assurance system should be best organized with modern tools of QMS with
tracking facility.
 Public sector should work towards creating awareness about new
innovations of R & D among stake holders and Collaborate with private
sector in tech- transfer.
 Assuring Credit facility & remunerative prices to the seed producer.
 Training of farmers is essential for scientific seed production wherein SMEs
of both Public and Private sector should work together .
 The public sector research organisations, Viz., ICAR/SAUs to provide the
seeds of latest varieties/hybrids of rice to public and private sector seed
companies on liberalised terms of MOA.
 Creating facilities for commodity exchange and storage facilities.
 At the time of risks and lesser opportunities P & P should help the farmer
to mitigate the risks and help him to earn the lively hood. While
production and price risks are the most obvious areas of
attention, partnerships between farmers’ groups and market
players can lead to better links with input suppliers, financial
institutions and research bodies
 Benefit schemes to pvt industries by Govt like tax exemptions, duty frees,
subsidy supports to encourage their participation in orphaned crops
which are major part of food security system of the country.
 Incentives and award system for the farmer,program.participating
agencies
 Encouragement for proper feedback and documentation and advocacy

 This PPP convergence can lead to better targeting of
government agricultural subsidies and better outcome for public
policy.,
 A collaborative effort between the government, farmers and
corporates in agriculture is likely to raise the rate of
agricultural GDP growth, thereby directly impacting rural
poverty.

  • 3. • The Indian agriculture sector accounts for 13.9 per cent of India's gross domestic product (GDP) and employs just a little less than 54.6 per cent of the country's workforce. • The Department of Agriculture and Cooperation under the Ministry of Agriculture is the nodal organisation responsible for the development of the agriculture sector in India. • The Immediate challenge to the Ministry of Agriculture, is to sustain the increasing agricultural output of the country. This can be addressed by developing Technology transfer and seed Innovation systems. • Indian seed sector is characterized by diverse crops & vegetables with both public and pvt sector playing pivotal role . 12/10/2015Varietal Research and Development Centre, Dharwad 3
  • 4.  Worlds biggest Research System  India has a mega public sector in agricultural research. There are 60 agriculture universies, 4 deemed universies and 4 central universities having agricultural faculty. There are 45 central institutes,17 national research centers, 25 project directorates, and 630 Krishi Vikas Kendra More than 35000 agricultural scientists are working in this public sector 12/10/2015 Varietal Research and Development Centre, Dharwad 4
  • 5.  Of the various technological interventions seed is considered as critical basic input for aiming sustained long term growth in agricultural production  Without good seed, investment like fertilizer, water, pesticides and other input will not pay the desired dividends  Agriculture is backbone of our nation while seed is the backbone of Agriculture 12/10/2015Varietal Research and Development Centre, Dharwad 5
  • 6.  Seed firms – an important agent in the innovation system - major concern is in making profit out of investment on technology development.  Establishing an innovative seed system for transfer of technology is need of the hour to enhance productivity and food security of the nation. PPP is an effort in that direction.  In this regard, the role of policy in catering to the interest of various stakeholders as well as facilitating the overall growth of the sector becomes crucial. 12/10/2015 Varietal Research and Development Centre, Dharwad 6

  • 8.  Seed systems are generally considered to be either formal (commercial) or informal (farmer‐led).  Formal seed systems usually consist of public and private sector research (plant breeding)  institutions, public and private sector agencies bulking up seed, mostly private sector companies distributing and marketing seed, and mostly public sector organisations responsible for seed certification and quality control. In formal seed systems, all parts of the seed production, processing and marketing chain are subject to regulation, inspection and certification.  Informal seed systems comprise large numbers of farmers who produce both traditional(landrace) and modern (improved) varieties with no regulatory oversight. They save, process and store seed for their own use as well as sharing it with their relations, neighbours and other local community members through exchange, barter, gifts and sales. Help in conservation of biodiversity. Mainly farmers & NGOs are involved. 12/10/2015Varietal Research and Development Centre, Dharwad 8
