Seeds are genetic material and one of the essential components of horticultural agribusiness. The demand for horticultural seeds continues to increase along with the growth of agribusiness. Regulations govern various stages in the seed system, from variety development, production, to distribution. However, the national seed industry, particularly Domestic Investment (PMDN) seed producers, faces challenges such as limited human resources, technology, and market access, making it difficult to compete with Foreign Investment (PMA) seed companies.
This study aims to formulate policy recommendations to enhance the performance of the horticultural seed system to be more competitive in the domestic market. Specifically, this study will analyze seed regulations and institutions, the performance of seed supply systems, and formulate alternative policies to support the national seed industry.
