MARKET INFORMATION
The previous association managing group put a lot of effort on
the discussion with government about the legislation for the
sector. It was a hard work and provided good results.
The new group managing the association will continue to provide
a lot of attention to the legislation aspects, therefore holding
a close relationship with government authorities and in addition
wants to invest efforts in other areas.
One of the areas will be to develop more information about the
seed market value in Brazil. This information is very limited.
But between 2000 and 2003 ABCSEM carried a survey among the
associate members and as a result of this initiative some
information about Brazilian vegetable seed market was generated.
This work was interrupted and started last year again with the
intention to improve the quality of such information.
Changes have taken place on Brazilian seed market and in some
species a big conversion from open pollinated to hybrids is
expressive. The most recent examples are on carrots and
watermelon market.
In Addiction of the Directory, ABCSEM has a professional team to
defend the sector interests. Mariana Ceratti, an agronomist, is
the Executive Coordinator, supported by another 3 persons. |
