The seed replacement rate in Nepal is very low and this should be increased to at least 25 to 33 percent from the current level of 4.7 percent in the country. Farmers have been growing deteriorated seeds of crop varieties for many years, without replacement. Farmers prefer local varieties in rain-fed areas due to low input and low management requirements and low risks compared to improved varieties. So, for successful production of quality seeds, farmers need to be organized in Community Seed Production Groups (CSPG). The programme also provides production inputs, credit, training, and technical know-how on seed production, storage, and marketing. The objective of strengthening the community seed production groups are: to produce quality seeds and store them for future use and to improve the capacity of the community seed bank with revolving funds and storage facilities.
