Resumen

Agriculture is the driving force behind the economy and food security needs of Ghana and quality seeds constitute the most critical input for agricultural development. The seed sector aims to enhance the role of agriculture in meeting the national goals. The main objective of the National Seed Policy is to support the development and establishment of a well-coordinated, comprehensive and sustainable private sector-driven seed industry through systematic and strategic approaches which would continuously create and supply new improved varieties for use by farmers and, further, support successful seed production, certification, marketing and seed security systems which will form the basis for food security and support the overall development of the agricultural sector. Seeds are the basic unit of plant propagation and as such they are the most crucial input in agricultural production. Certified seed usage and matching applications of other simple agricultural technologies can lead to doubling of current crop yields and enable Ghana’s agriculture to play its food security role more creditably. Quality seeds are a prerequisite to successful agricultureand constitute a major pathway for the achievement of national food security goals.
