Supply- and demand-side factors affecting maize and cowpea varietal turnover and quality seed use: Mixed-method evidence from northern Nigeria by Ragasa, Catherine, Umar, Sulaiman, Sani, Rabiu Mohammed, Onyibe, Johnson E., Omoigui, Lucky, Fasoranti, Adetunji, Nwagboso, Chibuzo, Bamiwuye, Temilolu, Takeshima, Hiroyuki, Andam, Kwaw S.

“…Two major themes emerged as barriers and drivers of adoption of newer improved varieties and quality seed: (1) Seed supplies were limited, especially breeder and foundation seeds, implying that Nigeria’s seed system needs to increase coordination, funding, and capacity for early-generation seed production and management; and (2) new varieties were not promoted to farmers, who therefore lacked exposure to the seeds, implying that both public and private sectors need to invest more in the promotion of these varieties and increase exposure and testing among farmers. …”
