Reducing Private Sector Role in Seed Pricing
Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan emphasized the need to improve state seed corporations' performance to reduce the influence of private sector seed companies.
“Ensuring the availability of quality seeds is highly critical, and the NSC can play a crucial role in this regard. The government is taking strict action on the fake seed issue,”
Chouhan asked the National Seeds Corporation (NSC) to increase its share in the domestic seed market to 25% from the current 4% and assured farmers that the government would strengthen NSC to maintain price stability.
- Current NSC market share: 4%
- Target NSC market share: 25%
