Sumario:This report outlines the progress made by AICCRA’s seed bundle initiative in 2025. The seed bundle promotes climate-smart agricultural technologies, particularly drought-tolerant seed varieties. In 2025, the initiative undertook several key activities, including the distribution of essential agricultural inputs—such as seeds, fertilizers, and agrochemicals—followed by coordinated planting by youth farmers. Additionally, random spot checks and field monitoring visits were conducted on soybean plots established by youth and the Accelerator Partner, FeedNat, to assess crop performance and provide technical guidance (e.g., timely weeding and rouging of off-types). The team also organized and executed soybean seed inspection exercises in collaboration with the Seed Control and Certification Institute (SCCI) across all youth-managed fields.
