Improved access to markets Improved market linkages have encouraged seed producers to improve and increase seed production to supply a growing market. The project has demonstrated that community production of improved varieties can be successful, but its sustainability depends on development of successful seed associations, cooperatives with links to the formal seed sector and market. Market development for soybean resulted in increased production and sales of soybean making significant contribution to improving livelihood and poverty reduction. This market is now established paying good prices. In the last three years over 405 MT of soybean has been produced by seed producers. Of this amount, 386 MT was sold as a result of market outlet. Similarly, 125 MT of Foundation Seeds have been produced over the last three years. Awareness creation of improved varieties Awareness creation to popularize improved varieties through field days, TV, Radio programs and newspaper reports has been carried out. Over the last three years, 34 field days, 10 TV programs, 14 radio programs, and 9 newspaper articles have been held. Increased capacity of partners The project, having recognized the significance of capacity building of its partners to achieve its objectives, organized and facilitated capacity development activities for its partners. Their capacities have been strengthened through training and subsequent applications; participation in national and international scientific conferences and meetings; research opportunities for higher degrees based on TL II activities as well as improved access to information and new knowledge. Strengthening of extension agents and community-based organizations, in particular the farmer groups and associations, through technical training in many aspects of soybean productionreinforced with post-harvest processing, storage, distribution and marketing. Over the last three years 480 extension agents and 4998 farmers have been trained on soybean seed production technology and general agronomic practices in the project countries. Two students were registered for MSc program to read seed technology in Malawi and Niger Republic. Project administration The project held a major planning workshop for all collaborators in the project countries to develop action plan for the implantation of the soybean seed systems. Subsequently, each country organized a planning meeting to harmonize their action plan in all the five participating project countries and used to formulate strategies for Foundation Seed production in the project countries. This report details TL II’s achievements over the last three years. Major outputs and outcomes Progress in Foundation and Certified Seed production Over the last three years, a total of 125.7 MT of Foundation Seeds of diverse varieties of soybean have been produced for sales to community seed growers in the project countries. Of this quantity, Nigeria produced 23.8 MT, Kenya, produced 38.3 MT, Malawi produced 27.6 MT, and Mozambique produced 36 MT (Table 11-29). All the countries produced in excess of the annual target of 15 MT per year in 2010 except Nigeria. 244 Engaging Smallholder Farmers | Tropical Legumes II Project

Subsequently, each country organized a planning meeting to harmonize and fine tune their project implementation. Thereafter, series of meetings and visits were also made by the project coordinator and other team leaders to ensure compliance of the agreed implementation plan. Consultations were also held among socio-economist in the participating institutions to plan surveys aimed at assessing capacity of NARS/institutions to produce Foundation Seed. During this process, a report on the potential of Foundation Seed production in all the participating project countries were prepared and submitted. In student capacity building, Mr. Guilhermo Boina completed his MSc degree program in Seed Technology at Bunda College of Agriculture, University of Malawi. Mr. Habou Aboubacar in Niger is about to defend his MSc degree program in Seed Technology from the University of Niamey. Progress in the production of Quality Assured Seed Considerable progress has been made in the production of Quality Assured/Certified Seed by community-based seed producers and seed companies in the various countries. The project promoted community seed production and linked seed producers to seed companies and agro-processors. The linkage was aimed to encourage the seed producers to improve and expand seed production as a result of the additional market outlets. For example, community seed producers were linked to Alheri Seed Company in Niger, Premier Seed and Jirkur Seed Companies, as well as Grand Cereal Nigeria Limited Jos (Agro-processor) in Nigeria, and Leldet Seed Company in Kenya. Over the period 2008-2010, a total of 975 MT of soybean seed has been produced. In Nigeria, 232.3 MT of Certified Seed has been produced in the last three years. This figure indicates that the 70 MT per year annual target was met. In Kenya, 43 MT of Certified Seed has been produced. In Malawi, 122 MT of Certified Seed has been produced. In Mozambique, 578 MT of Certified Seed has been produced. The results indicate that Nigeria and Mozambique exceeded the target of 210 MT based on average of 70 MT per year. Over 90% of the seed produced has been certified by the country certifying agencies (Table 11-30).
