The present guide is in response to the request by governments and decision- makers in developing countries for guidelines on options to build efficient seed delivery systems adapted to the level of their agricultural development. This document is based on the accumulated experience of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO in the seed sector) and lays out the necessary conditions and key requirements for the development of such smallholder seed enterprises in developing countries and how such processes can be supported. It also describes the necessary capacity development aspects involved in the establishment of smallholder seed enterprises.
