SADC To Harmonise Certified Seed Release in the SADC Region

In order to harmonise the Seed Variety Release in the SADC region the countries involved will be using a regional system for variety release. The SPEARS Project has developed a procedural manual based on process management, a tool widely utilized in the public and private sector to streamline operations. It describes the procedures of how applicants may register a new variety that is to be marketed in the SADC region. It also describes the activities defining the “who”, “what”, “when”, “where” and the sequence that should be followed. The activities are directly linked with the flowchart that reflects a visual representation of each procedure.
