| Abstract: | Population growth projections require a dynamic response in food production. In this way, reforms must be made to transform traditional systems that are less productive to systems based on more productive technologies, which include, among many, the use of improved seeds. This work, carried out in the Chibuto District, aimed to obtain information on the dynamics of adoption and use of improved seeds by local farmers. For this purpose, semi- structured interviews were conducted involving 35 farmers. It was found that more than half (62.9%) of the farmers in question use certified seed. It was verified the need to accelerate associativism (11.43%) in order to boost the assistance to farmers by public and private organizations. 40% of those who have access to improved seeds are satisfied with increases in productivity. |
