Bean Seed Production Approaches

Seed Marketing Approaches

Support the use of complementary inputs to increase bean productivity

Climbing Bean: 71% Increase

Bean yield (kg/ha) of different bean varieties in Southern Ethiopia using ICM (Unit Plot SIZE 100 m 2 ) in 2010 Variety Maximum yield (kg/ha) Minimum (kg/ha) Average (n=45) Hawassa Dume 4600 1300 2770 Nassir 3400 1200 2080 Dimtu 3000 900 1728 Ibado 2800 900 1557 Omo 95 2500 700 1471

Haile Wako IMPACTS at different levels

Increased private investment

Methodology for developing farmer seed enterprises Establish demand for seed Seasonal planning and production Train seed producers Identify seed producers Stakeholder meetings Establish 2nd order associations Market assessment by seed producers Training Planning Capacity building
