Agriculture is the backbone of Kenya’s economy. It employs close to 40 per cent of the population and generates a third of Kenya’s GDP.

- the short-term oriented business practices of actors in the inputs supply chain
- seed sector governance and regulation

- fostering long-term customer-oriented business strategies along the chain
- improving seed industry governance and regulation
