Objectives for today
   Discuss about work of SEP
   Discuss about MasAgro
Note: this is work in progress
IMIC, objectives
   Focus is on rainfed production areas in
    Mexico
    1. Raise average maize yield from 2.2 to 3.7 t/ha
    2. Increase maize production from 13 to 20 million
       tones
    3. Increase adoption of improved materials in 1.5 to 3
       million additional hectares
    4. Production and distribution of additional 70,000 t
       of high quality seed
    5. Increase the competitiveness of national
       companies that target small producers

IMIC, approach
   Focus is on seed delivery
    o   The diversity of maize production conditions
        determines specific demands for improved seeds that
        can be served by the IMIC consortium / network /
        supply chain
    o   Success depends on involving seed companies in the
        delivery and distribution of seed innovations
    o   The interaction is in the field of public-private
        partnerships through agreements between CIMMYT
        and seed companies

Concluding remarks

   Our supply and demand studies need to become more
    specific in order to deliver useful information for:
    o Identifying niches and help develop business plans to
      target them
    o Helping the promotion of improved seeds based on
      information on performance and impact on profitability
    o Helping coordinate consistent supply of basic seed and
      parental inbred lines
    o Developing new tools and relations for germoplasm
      development and access




                                                 22

Editor's Notes

  • #5: Genetic improvement and seed product innovation have been a crucial factor in increasing the productivity of maize and the income of producers worldwide.In Mexico, however, and in particular in the rain-fed areas, the demand for improved seeds is heterogeneous and adoption outcome is uncertain.
  • #9: The focus is on the development of a representation of the market size and market segments and profiles of improved maize seeds that is useful for identifying and seizing market opportunities. Our proposed MPI is based on five key dimensions of the market demand for improved seeds. The index is applied to examining the potential and limitations for increasing the use of improved maize seeds in Mexico. The possibilities and limitations of the market potential index as a marketing management tool are discussed.
  • #10: In this paper, a market potential index (MPI) is proposed for evaluating the growth, opportunities and challenges of the improved maize seed market in Mexico. The MPI for improved seeds in Mexico postulates that improved seed forecasted sales are a function of the area planted to maize, the current use of improved seeds, the maize producers’ economic capacity, the land production potential for maize, and the difference in profitability from using improved seed. The calculated measure is used to examine the following research questions:  What is the market potential for improved seeds in Mexico in the different production areas? How much seed needs to be produced? What are the different market profiles in Mexico?
