AES Countries Unite for Sovereign Seeds
AES Countries Unite for Sovereign Seeds
Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger are creating the Alliance of Agricultural Seed Producers of the Sahel (APSA-Sahel), announced Burkinabe Minister of Agriculture Denis Ouédraogo.
The alliance aims to:
🟠Cultivate and market quality seeds adapted to the region's climate;
🟠Facilitate their free circulation;
🟠Strengthen food sovereignty.
The endeavor faces significant challenges, including a scarcity of quality seeds, harsh climatic conditions, and regional insecurity. However, with the support of both private and public stakeholders, APSA-Sahel aspires to transform the seed sector in the region.
The next step is to develop a concrete action plan that will create an integrated seed market.
