Parry Agri Seeds (I) Private Limited

In their own words

Seed Production Sector in India is facing these major problems the four major problems faced by the seed industry in India. The problems are: 1. Distribution Problems 2. Lack of Effective Monitoring Mechanism There is no effective monitoring mechanism for controlling the quality of seeds at the selling points. The dealers even sell those seeds whose samples have failed in the laboratory tests by SSCs. The producing and marketing agencies of seed do not have any control on their production once the product is sold. This is mainly because the monitoring of selling of seeds is neither possible nor economical. 3. Lack of Infrastructure Availability of seeds in time still remains a problem for the farmers. The problem is compounded by poor infrastructure in distant villages, the lack of purchasing power at the time of sowing and the uncertainty of rainfall, on which the sowing is largely dependent. 4. Poor Extension Services. The various extension services offered by the Agriculture department leave much to be desired in terms of effectiveness of the programmes offered by them, for popularizing the modern agricultural practices, which includes improved seeds practices. Agricultural supervisors generally are seen active only for showing their targets that are fulfilled, by distributing the mini kits and conducting field demonstrations rather than emphasizing on the result oriented approach. The popularization of a variety in a prolonged period has reasons other than the slow activity of the extension network like the performance of the crop and availability of the seed variety. PARRY AGRI SEEDS (I) PRIVATE LIMITED strives to become a sustainable organization through significant contribution to India's Seed Production Sector by optimum utilization of human resource, material and assets, responsible use of energy and water resource, being guided by its values.
