The Seed Tracking and Tracing System
Description
The Seed Tracking and Tracing System is a robust mobile and web-based application designed to enhance the quality and integrity of seeds in the agricultural sector. Developed to combat counterfeit seeds and streamline seed quality assurance processes, this system supports the Seed Certification Service in executing critical regulatory and operational functions across the seed value chain.
Impact
The Seed Tracking and Tracing System has strengthened the agricultural sector by improving seed quality, transparency, and trust among farmers, seed producers, and regulators. By reducing the circulation of counterfeit seeds, the system ensures farmers access genuine, high-quality planting materials, leading to higher yields and improved household incomes. It enhances efficiency within the seed certification process, enabling faster verification, traceability, and accountability across the value chain. The platform also supports evidence-based decision-making for regulators and policymakers through reliable data on seed production and distribution.
Target Audience
The main beneficiaries of the Seed Tracking and Tracing System are farmers, who gain access to certified, high-quality seeds that enhance crop yields and profitability. Other key beneficiaries include seed producers and dealers, who benefit from transparent certification and traceability processes that build trust and market credibility. Regulatory bodies, such as the Seed Certification Service and the Ministry of Agriculture, are empowered with real-time data to monitor compliance, enforce standards, and curb counterfeit seed distribution. Additionally, research institutions and development partners benefit from accurate data for planning and policy formulation, while agro-input suppliers and distributors gain efficiency in supply chain management.
