<p><strong>English</strong><br />Most potato farmers in Indonesia do not adopt certified potato seed. Relatively expensive price of certified seed is the main reason the farmers apply the seed produced by themselves. In general, prices of potato produced using certified seed and those produced using uncertified seed are relatively equal. The farmers who regularly apply certified seed are those having partnership with the potato processor. High risk of potato seed production discourages the certified seed producers to produce it in sufficient amount for market supply. Less cost of certified seed production and improved potato selling price will enhance farmers’ adoption of certified seed. The government needs to empower the farmers to produce quality seed by themselves through informal seed system development rather than they have to depend on commercial certified-seed produced by the formal seed industry.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Indonesian</strong><br />Adopsi benih kentang bermutu oleh petani kentang di berbagai daerah relatif rendah. Harga benih kentang bersertifikat yang relatif lebih mahal dibanding benih kentang yang dibuat sendiri oleh petani merupakan alasan utama petani tidak menggunakan benih bersertifikat. Harga kentang yang berasal dari benih buatan sendiri dibanding harga kentang yang berasal dari benih bersertifikat jika dijual ke pasar umum harganya relatif sama. Penggunaan benih kentang bersertifikat dilakukan petani terutama untuk kemitraan dengan prosesor kentang. Risiko tinggi dalam memproduksi benih kentang bersertifikat merupakan disinsentif bagi penangkar benih kentang untuk berproduksi dalam jumlah yang memadai. Kemudahan dalam menangkarkan benih bersertifikat dan membaiknya harga jual kentang akan meningkatkan adopsi petani terhadap benih kentang bersertifikat. Pemerintah juga harus berinisiatif agar petani secara mandiri bisa menghasilkan benih kentang bermutu melalui pengembangan sistem benih informal dan tidak harus bergantung pada benih kentang komersial yang dihasilkan industri benih formal.</p>

Seed system development in the developing world, especially in Africa, has become a political space. This article analyzes current Ethiopian seed politics in light of the historical dynamics of national and international seed system politics and developments. Drawing on multiple power analysis approaches and employing the lens of “international seed regimes,” the article characterizes the historical pattern of seed regimes in Ethiopia. While colonial territories underwent three historical seed regime patterns—the first colonial seed regime, the second post-WWII public seed regime, and the third post-1980s corporate-based neoliberal seed regime, Ethiopia has only experienced one of these. Until the 1950s, when the first US government's development assistance program—the Point 4 Program—enabled the second government-led seed regime to emerge, the farmers' seed systems remained the only seed innovation and supply system. The first colonial seed regime never took hold as the country remained uncolonized, and the government has hitherto resisted the third corporate-based neoliberal seed regime. In the current conjuncture in the contemporary Ethiopian seed regime, four different approaches to pluralistic seed system development are competing: (1) government-led formalization, (2) private-led formalization, (3) farmer-based localization, and (4) community-based integrative seed system developments. The Pluralistic Seed System Development Strategy (PSSDS) from 2013 is a uniquely diverse approach to seed system development internationally; however, it has yet to realize its equity and sustainability potential. This study shows that the agricultural modernization dependency and government-led formal seed systems development have sidelined opportunities to tap into the strength of other alternatives identified in the PSSDS. In conclusion, an integrative and inclusive seed sector is possible if the government takes leadership and removes the current political, organizational, and economic barriers for developing a truly pluralistic seed system.

Purpose: to identify the main problems of development of the domestic branch of selection and seed production and make proposals for their solution. Materials and methods. The research is based on the use of monographic, analytical and statistical and economic methods. Results. It has been determined that currently there is a significant seed import dependence in the agricultural sector that endangers the food security of Russia, especially due to the unstable geopolitical situation in the world. Within the framework of scientific research, the recent achievements in the field of selection and seed production (the development of new highly competitive varieties and hybrids of agricultural crops) are considered; directions of state support for the selection and seed industry development are studied, while a negative trend of reducing its volume is found; a set of measures aimed at the selection work development in our country is considered; the main problems of the domestic selection and seed industry development are identified and grouped in four directions; proposals for their solution are formed. Conclusions. The selection and seed industry is characterized by low investment attractiveness for private investors, which determines the state role strengthening. At present, budgetary support and funding are directed mainly to government agencies, however, private companies are also involved in the development of selection and seed industry, which also need support. Significant conditions providing a comprehensive solution to the problems of industry development, in addition to increasing the government support volume and improving the forms of its provision, are the creation of favorable conditions for increasing human resources, the development of public-private partnerships and building a stable connection of the triad “state – science – production”.

The availability of Indonesian potato seed and production of potato for consumption depends on the availability and quality of Generation 0 (G0) potato seed. This study aims to observe G0 potato seed production management in Indonesia. Data were collected through Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and survey. Thirty-seven G0 potato seed producers participated in the survey. Data were analyzed descriptively, while the feasibility of the farm budget of G0 potato production was calculated using the enterprise budget method. The results showed that the producers had challenges on capital to broaden the screen house to extend the production scale and limited plantlet availability. Meanwhile, they did not have any problems with other production aspects, such as controlling pests and diseases and the marketing of the G0 seed. Government supports to provide screen houses to fulfil producers' necessity and delegate the legality of potato plantlets are needed to create a better Indonesia's potato seed system.


The purpose of the article is to develop scientifically sound proposals for solving the problem of commercial circulation of seeds and planting material and payments for the use of intellectual property in Ukraine. The analysis of the current state and prospects of seed production in Ukraine is covered. The study found that the further formation and development of domestic breeding and seed production, the entry of domestic varieties in the international market, attracting foreign investment to create a seed industry infrastructure that would meet the world requirements and standards is not possible without the introduction of varietal certification of seeds in Ukraine, membership in Ukraine Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and accession to variety certification schemes. The basis for the development of domestic breeding and seed production is further seen through the introduction of a mechanism for obtaining royalties based on a real reflection of the use of the value of seeds and planting material, and their registration by an independent body of accounting, supervision and control, as well as support for national selection through the use of breeding payments for Farm Saved Seed. In order to set prices for seeds and planting material of a full-fledged market environment, the calculation of the normative cost, the purchase price for the plant and the selling price of 1 ton of winter wheat seeds have been proposed. Ways of resolving commercial circulation of seeds and planting material and payments for the use of intellectual property are highlighted. Prospective ways to accelerate the development of the organization of the market of seeds and planting material of Ukraine are outlined. The authors' views on the positive experience of using non-conventional and non-conventional seed material in the EU countries are outlined.Solving these problems will help to establish international cooperation of Ukraine in the field of protection of plant variety rights and commercial marketing of seeds and planting material.

Greater attention is always being given to quantity of seeds produced rather than the inherent quality when issues related to seed requirements are discussed. However, seed production should not be limited to production of crops with high yielding potential, but also of high quality seeds with good economic potential that can give good crop establishment and yields in a wide range of production environments. This requires good knowledge of seed production and the establishment of an economically functional seed system with serviceable strategies. This underscores the importance of seed quality assurance systems strengthened with seed law enforcement strategies to assure production of good quality seeds of preferred varieties. This paper discusses those strategies put in place to ensure a successful production of quality seeds in the Nigerian seed industry and how the setups operate to achieve this objective.

Abstract A good seed production system results in quality seed. Subsequently, quality seed produces high yield, good quality, and uniform crop performance. This paper aims to assess the national vegetable seed system, especially those seeds produced using vegetative propagation, i.e. potato, shallot, and garlic. The study was conducted in 2019 in West Sumatera, West Java, Central Java, and Northern Sulawesi Provinces. Using primary data from the respondents and secondary data from related institutions, both data were analyzed descriptively. Indonesian Vegetable Research Institute (IVEGRI), universities, and seed companies produce various vegetable seeds. Community in groups or personals as well as regional governments may register their varieties to the Center for Crop Variety Protection and Agriculture Permit (PVTPP). Potato seed producers deal with higher production cost and the farmers have to pay more expensive seed since the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) implemented the policy on shifting extension potato seed from G4 (fourth generation) to G2 (second generation). The farmers cope with quality and volume of garlic seed supply. Shallot seed adopted by the farmers are generally not certified. Farmers usually adopt certified shallot seed if they receive the government seed assistance. TSS (true shallot seed) has been introduced but farmers’ adoption is limited. Garlic seed certification through post-harvest observation in the seed warehouse without field supervision was valid until the end of 2019 leading to low garlic yield. MoA should facilitate farmers with quality seed of improved vegetable varieties to enhance vegetable production as well as to improve farmers’ profit.

The purpose of this study was to study the supply of potato seed in West Java, Indonesia. The research respondent is farmers who use seed, with a sample of 377 farmers and a survey of all seed breeders totaling 43 farmers, using proportionate stratified random sampling. This research report is also complemented by a review analysis of potato seedling development in the last five years. There is considerable interest in the potential that can be developed, productive aged farmers, and adoption of new technologies. Factors exerting a strong influence include capital, technology, adequacy of seed, the proportion of certified seed, and farm credit. Factors identified as influencing the level of demand include the proportion of certified seed, seed prices, capital, and credit allocation for potato farming; at the level of supply factors that can exert influence are the availability of seed, the selling price of seed, and the capital of breeding farmers. Policy simulation on the use of certified seed potatoes shows that increase in the number of specific farm credits, the price of seed and fixed farm capital results in increased use of certified seed and reduced self-selection of seed.
