Report assessing the indigenous systems of seed flow and variety development (especially seed fairs), and public agricultural development organisation perceptions of it. Outcomes and conclusions:- indications of the existence of a dynamic informal culture of seed procurement, testing, and exchange among smallholder farmers in south east Tanzania
- farmers attended the seed fairs, the wide range of varieties of many crop types presented by farmers and their evident knowledge helped counter the prejudice among local public agency officials who regard smallholders as passive, conservative and non-innovative
- the seed fairs described in this report offer a method of generating contact between the formal seed/variety sector (in south east Tanzania predominantly the public sector research and extension system), and the informal sector of producers and farmers. Seed fairs form one of several ways in which scientists in Tanzania have responded to the opportunities and requirements of greater participation by farmers in agricultural research under the new agricultural development policy
