the use of certified seeds in Myanmar. Supplyside
factors include scarce availability of funds
for R&D and extension services, lack of rural
infrastructure, and poor facilities for seed
production, processing, and storage. The need
for training to enhance the technical capacity
of growers, technicians, and researchers, as
well as the introduction of a policy framework
providing the necessary incentives for private
growers to engage in the production of local
seeds are other key supply-side factors.
