  • Which Malian companies produce seed in the country?
  • The three Malian companies produce seed in the country, and two of them, Faso Kaba and SOPROSA, involve smallholders in their production activities. *** Based on company data, sales activities include seeds and/or crop protection products. Other index companies are also active in the country.
  • Does Mali have a seed law?
  • The law is in line with the ECOWAS seed regulation, though the level of available certified seed remains low. Mali has liberalized its economy over the past decade, resulting in a more interactive seed system with several active players from the public and private sectors, as well as farmers’ organizations and non-governmental organizations.
  • Can Malian farmers grow vegetable seeds in West Africa?
  • In addition, some French seed companies in joint ventures with Malian partners carry out adaptive trials of seeds in Mali to develop commercial vegetable seed tailored to the West African market. Such collaboration benefits Malian farmers, as well as other farmers throughout West Africa.
  • How sanitary is imported seed in Mali?
  • Imported seed is subject to sanitary and phytosanitary control as it enters Mali. There is a lack of information on private-sector participation – by importers, producers and distributors – in the seed industry.
  • What crops do Malian farmers grow?
  • Despite a good history of varietal development of millet, sorghum, maize, rice and cowpeas, most Malian farmers retain their own seed or exchange with nearby farmers: few use improved, high-yielding varieties or certified seed. This is especially true of those growing traditional crops: millet, sorghum, cowpeas, groundnut and upland rice.
  • When does Mali flower?
  • In Mali flowering occurs from January to March (Weber & al. 2010), but can be earlier further south (Doligez & Joly 1997). Various parts of the tree (bark, leaves, gum, seeds, roots and wood) are used by local communities in southern Mali. The seeds are the most exploited plant part (Dembélé & al. 2015).
