After
the establishment of National seeds corporation 1963,and the state seed
corporation have brought a change as a result a large number of private
seed companies many with foreign collaboration have come into being, which
are now engaged in the scientific seed come into being, which are now
engaged in the scientific seed production.
By
1945, the private vegetable seed companies had developed facilities for
producing seeds of temperate vegetables in Quetta and the Kashmir valley.
In 1946, the seedsmen handling vegetable seeds organised themselves into
an association- The All India Seed Growers, Merchants and Nurserymen's
Association with the objectives of ensuring the rapid development of the
vegetable seed industry.
The
Private Sector will continue its activities in the more lucrative sectors
of the market, with a strong emphasis on hybrids and the more specialised
low volume crops such as vegetables and to some extent, fodder crops.
Consequently, the availability of hybrid technologies in new crops will be
a crucial factor in the development of the private sector. Public Sector
has largely concentrated on agricultural crops, mainly cereals. Much of
the seeds of hybrid varieties and vegetables is produced and distributed
by the Private Sector. |
