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 .

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

18. 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.

36. 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

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.
