production system and identification linkages planting material suppliers and fruits
producers in Fergana Province in Uzbekistan conducted by Uzbek Research Institute
of Horticulture, Viticulture and Wine-making on 28 August -13 September 2014
demonstrated the following constrains in the system:
• Farmers' lack of knowledge on planting material demand in horticulture sector
of Uzbekistan.
• Farmers' lack of awareness of new fruit trees varieties, developed by formal
breeding system.
• Lack of certified planting material ensuring quality planting material.
To fill in these gaps in seed system of fruit trees and supplying small holder famers
with quality planting material it was agreed with national partners to strengthen the
existing seed system through trainings of farmers on technologies of fruit trees
multiplication, linking farmers – nursery keepers with mother plantations of research
institutes and matrix orchards of farmers for improving their access to grafting
material of fruit trees diversity, linking planting material suppliers with production
farmers.
