Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>This was the conclusion of a study conducted by the Seed Sector Promotion Association in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.<\/p>\n

The document presented this Friday in Quelimane states that many farmers use grain instead of certified seeds.<\/p>\n

Celso Ruface, an expert in seed technology at FAO, explained that the use of grain instead of seeds contributes to low crop productivity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe identify fake seeds often after sowing the product; when different plants start to appear, with very different characteristics. During production, we find that the grain looks different, one is shorter, another is longer, various colors and so on; so it is work that was done during a campaign that has no use as a seed and we go back to using grain,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Celso Ruface emphasizes the need to hold accountable the economic agents who market fake seeds of dubious origin.<\/p>\n
