Description Non-availability of good quality seeds of high-yielding varieties in time is one of the major constraints
contributing to stagnated yields of groundnut crop in Mahbubnagar district of Andhra Pradesh state. The crop
is grown predominantly in postrainy season under irrigated conditions. The baseline studies carried out in the
project area identified key problems related to groundnut seed supply system. Private seed sector is reluctant to
produce and market seed of groundnut for economic consideration. The project devised an alternative seed
delivery system, village seed banks; which ensure availability of quality seed of improved varieties at village level. It not only ensured timely availability of quality seed of farmer-preferred varieties at affordable price at local level but also enhanced crop productivity and community seed enterprise
