The efforts to increase the distribution of new

soybean varieties

The low availability of Development of soybean

Limited distribution of
new superior varieties seed breeders at the
new soybean varieties
of soybean seeds farmer level
 Conclusions
The limited distribution of new soybean varieties partly due to the
low availability of seeds. Therefore, to increase the availability of
seeds, it can be done by developing soybean seed breeders at the
farmer level.

Government support in credit facilities for seed breeders will

encourage the development of the seed breeding of new soybean
varieties at the farmer level.

The government, through the Ministry of Agriculture is expected to

establish partnerships with private seed producers so as to increase
their interest in producing seeds of new soybean varieties.

Ministry of Agriculture is expected to encourage UPBS to focus

more on producing seeds of new soybean varieties, especially
those that are location-specific, have high productivity and are
in accordance with the farmers’ preferences.
