Challenges Faced in the Seed Market.
In the heart of India’s agricultural landscape, the state grappled with a persistent challenge: the infiltration of spurious seeds, jeopardizing the livelihoods of its farmers and the integrity of its crops.
High demand for seeds can create an opportunity for unscrupulous suppliers to introduce spurious seeds into the market.
In some regions, the seed sector may be largely informal, with a significant portion of seeds being produced and distributed by local suppliers who may not adhere to quality standards.
The absence of digitalization in the seed supply chain contributes to rampant instances of spurious seeds infiltrating the market, posing significant risks to farmers’ livelihoods and crop yields.
