Characterisation and sustainability evaluation of cereals and pulses formal seed production systems in Cameroon.

ABSTRACT: Cereals and pulses are essential commodities for human nutrition in Africa. Seed quality is the vital input and precondition for good agricultural production. Good seeds are mainly supplied by the formal system, which is struggling to ensure its sustainability in Africa. Providing solutions to this systemic problem first requires making a diagnosis. This study aims to characterize the cereal and pulse formal seed production system in Cameroon. The study was conducted in the Sudano-Sahelian (SSZ) and Western highlands (WHZ) agroecological zones (AEZs) of Cameroon and consisted of a triangulation of information: (1) documentary research, (2) semi-structured interviews with seed certification managers and, (3) administration of questionnaires to seed producers.
