About usActive Members
Producers need to watch out for FAKE SEED, usually purchased cheaply from unreliable sources. You may spot it by suspicious packaging, spelling errors on the package or label, errors on the seed company logo and even the colour of the dye on the seed. Though cheap, the cost of fake seed lasts a whole season. It may result in loss of yield potential, commodity quality and markets. It threatens national food and nutrition security as well as retard agricultural transformation. Good quality seed is readily available from seed companies and reliable outlets. In Zimbabwe seed sellers should be licensed by Seed Services Institute.
