In 2016, the Ministry of Agriculture launched Regulation 207.1/HK.140/C/02/2016 on Technical Guidelines for the Development of Seed Self-Reliance in Villages. The program is implemented by the Indonesian Agency for Agriculture Research and Development (IAARD). It gives special attention to villages that are isolated or located in marginal areas and thus have problems accessing quality seeds from external sources. The objective is to guarantee farmers’ access to good quality seeds, and for farmers to achieve seed self-sufficiency at village level by enhancing farmers’ capacities to produce and sell seeds to other farmers. The program is being implemented in all provinces of Indonesia; it has motivated farmers to breed and produce seeds. Mainly of local and farmer-bred varieties of rice, maize and soybean. To date, 1313 villages have participated in this program, with around 1000 farm households being reached in every village. Thus, an estimate of more than one million farm households has benefited in this program since 2016. Fully supported by government funds, achievements were quantitatively high. However, progress can be made as regards project sustainability, especially by strengthening links with breeding activities carried out by government research institutions and universities.
