Dr. Jagveer S. Sindhu - The Asia and Pacific Seed Association

October 2002

Part of a seed association’s mission is to disseminate information to its members. What are the various kinds of information you provide to your members, and which media do you use to disseminate it?
 
We provide our members with technical and market-related information on seed from all over the world but more so with that having relevance to this region. This includes the following:
  • Technical reports on new technologies, their use and implications.
  • Country reports of the seed industry.
  • Information on cultivar development, seed production, seed conditioning, quality control and marketing.
  • Information on IPRs and other related issues, including harmonization of phytosanitary regulations for promoting the seed business in the region.
  • Seed import/export statistics for different countries in the region.

The information is disseminated to APSA members in the following ways:

  • Compiled reports are presented to members at the annual conference called Asian Seed.
  • Reports are mailed to members.
  • Through our bi-monthly journal 'Asian Seed & Planting Material'.
  • Through the internet on our website www.apsaseed.com
