Seed Tracking and Tracing Systems (STTS) involve the thorough documentation of seed sources, including seed growers and merchants, seed production areas (gardens), seed lots at each production location (packages), and seed packs, all marked with unique identifiers for each seed field or lot.The tracking component is dedicated to ensuring accurate identification, preservation, and quality control, while tracing focuses on resolving non-compliance issues at any point within the seed production and supply chain.
The system's components include the registration of all seed producers, field inspections, seed lab testing, seed labeling, and market access services. This system is specifically designed for Niger's seed sector to guarantee the supply of high-quality seeds across the country.
