Description The high percentage of farmers (80–90%), including the pro-poor in remote
areas, who have no access to recently released and high-yielding varieties proves
the failure of various seed delivery models implemented so far. The ideal model
to grow a crop commodity business to reach farmers in developing countries with
seed of improved legume crop varieties has been a hard topic for development
organizations. Past studies have shown that the full and balanced integration of
multiple stakeholders’ knowledge and contexts into the process of agricultural
technology development increases the uptake and ownership among end users.
