1 Improving legume seed delivery systems in the Eastern Province of Zambia: implementation progress and achievements David Chikoye (IITA), Moses Siambi (ICRISAT), Kennedy Kanenga (ZARI) David Chisanga (IITA), Patrick Okori (ICRISAT) Africa RISING going to scale in the Eastern Province of Zambia Project Review and End-of-Project Meeting Lusaka, Zambia, 7 8 September 2017
2 Presentation outline 1. Summary of theme 1 activities 2. FTF targets and achievements 3. Reasons for under or over achievements 4. Challenges and constraints 5. Future directions 6. Lessons learned
3 Summary of theme 1 activities Introduction: From Feed the Future R & D program, 9 new varieties were released: Groundnuts (5), MGV7, MGV6, Wamusanga, Wazitatu, Lupande Soybeans (2), Kafue & Mwembeshi Cowpeas (1), Namuseba Pigeon peas (1), MPPV2
4 1.1 Seed production delivery pathway 1. Breeder & Pre-basic Seed ZARI, ICRISAT & IITA 2. Basic Seed Production: - On-station- ZARI & IITA - Out growers - Seed producers - Large scale farmers 3. Certified Seed Production: Seed companies Small-holder farmers Civil Society (FOs, CBOs & NGOs)
5 1.2 Key partners and their roles Partner Responsibility ZARI - To produce breeder and foundation seed of groundnuts, pigeon peas, soyabeans and cowpeas IITA - To produce breeder and foundation seed of soyabeans and cowpeas - Establishing demos of best bet agronomic practices ICRISAT - To produce breeder seed of groundnuts and pigeon peas - Establishing demos of best bet agronomic practices
6 Partner Seed Companies, farmer groups, NGOs, MOA Extension department Seed Control and Certification Institute Responsibility - To produce certified seed of all the crops above - Assist in seed distribution and market linkages - To assist in extension services. e.g conducting field days and agricultural shows - To carry out field inspections and seed certification

20 1.6 Develop a plan to roll out beyond pilot districts ZARI and IITA organized a half day Eastern Province Legume Seed Alliance Meeting; Stakeholders dealing in legume seed production, distribution and retail. 29 participated.
21 1.7 Support seed companies to commercialize legume seed production Good Nature Agro Ltd, was supplied with basic seed of soya beans during the 2016/2017 season. Potential seed companies that have shown interest include, Share Africa Zambia, Stewards Globe Ltd, Tience Company Ltd and Tender Seed Company Ltd.

23 2.0 Feed the Future targets and achievements Indicator Target Result % # of hectares under improved technologies or management practices as a result of USG assistance # of individuals who have received USG supported short-term agricultural sector productivity or food security training ha ha
24 # of public-private partnerships formed as a result of FTF assistance # of private enterprises (for profit), that applied new technologies or management practices as a result of USG assistance: Number of MSMEs, including farmers, receiving business development services from USG assisted sources Still underway Still underway
25 3.0 Reasons for under or over achievements On seed production, first year production was poor due to drought as well logistics to import seed. Lack of start-up early generation seed resulted in not implement most activities in the first year. Delayed office establishment and staff recruitment process
26 4.0 Challenges and constraints Seed importation rules required too much protocol yet it was mostly breeder seed that was produced in collaboration with ZARI Msekera Disbursement of funds to ZARI collaborators at times delayed Few partners showed interest to participate in basic and certified seed production Lack of information sharing as to who is producing what! Certified seed on the market is still expensive for an average farmer Seed recycling
27 5.0 Future direction Funding needs to be timely to allow for timely activity implementation ZARI needs to have a section that should specifically handle seed production of early generation seeds. Seed road maps need to be linked to effective demand rather than potential area of production for legume crops.
28 6.0 Lessons learned Good partnerships are a pre-requisite for greater achievements Semi-formal seed system could still play a big role in strengthening the legume seed system. Small demonstration plots are not as effective as large plots
29 Project implementing partners Our local partners Seed Control and certification Institute (SCCI) Good Nature Agro Ltd. Other seed companies NGOs and CBOs Ministry of Agriculture through DACO s office Farmer Clubs/ Associations and Cooperatives
