(Tetum) Timor Leste’s  National Seed System for Released Varieties (NSSRV) was established in 2013 to ensure farmers timely access to quality seeds.  A documentary video detailing how the seed system works was produced to assist in disseminating the information.

In addition to the showing of this video on national TV, Seeds of Life (SoL) collaborated with Cinema Lorosa’e to show the video during their film nights in rural communities. (more…)

(Tetum) Now is the time for all registered Commercial Seed Producers (CSP) across the country to submit their application for a seed production Annual Permit to the Seed Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (MAF).

The Annual Permit is issued under the Guidelines of the National Seed System for Released Varieties (NSSRV) and applies to all officially released varieties (e.g. Sele, Noi Mutin and Nai varieties of maize, Nakroma variety of rice and Utamua variety of peanut). The Annual Permit is only issued to those CSP that are officially registered as CSP by MAF Seed Department. (more…)

(Tetun) Local production of improved maize, rice and peanut seed will get a boost this 2014-15 cropping season following the registration of 27 new commercial seed producers (CSP) by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (MAF) in late 2014.

This brings total CSPs to 58 nationwide, adding to the previous 31 CSPs registered in 2013 under the National Seed System for Released Varieties (NSRV). (more…)
