| dc.description.abstract | This paper discusses the possibility for retail sale of small quantities of tree seed to smallholders
through private enterprises already dealing with horticultural and agricultural seed. It
is suggested that the private enterprises purchase tree seed at national tree seed programmes,
pack the seed in small bags and distribute and sell the bags through their networks of local
seed dealers. A picture of the tree will be printed on the front of the bag, and guidelines for
using the seed will be printed on the back. The aim is to increase smallholders' access to high
quality tree seed. The discussion will focus on seed-physiological, genetic and financial aspects. | en |
