SAHIWAL: The local chapter of the Seed Association of Pakistan (SAP) has shown strong reservations about proposed changes to the federal seed certification laws for providing space to multinational seed companies to operate in provinces.
It demanded the strict enforcement of the actual federal seed certification law, which provided a mechanism for foreign seed multinational firms to obey protocols listed for introduction of any new seed, both hybrid or genetically modified, at the local level.
Talking to the media here on Friday, Saleem Bari, the senior executive member of the Seed Association of Pakistan, demanded the federal government refrain from making such changes to the seed enforcement laws and regulations as might compromise the level-playing field for all seed companies.
HYDERABAD: Office bearers of the Association of All Sindh Seeds (AASS) have urged the federal government not to decentralise seed component as provinces are already overburdened and can damage this important component of the agriculture sector.
Speaking at a press conference at local press club on Sunday, the association’s president Nadeem Shah, general secretary Nawaz Nizamani and others said that they, the growers from Sindh, also owned seed companies as after 18th Amendment the agriculture sector was decentralised, but the federal government still retained some components of agriculture like food security and seed.
They said that seed component was governed by the Federal Seed Certification and Registration Department (FSC&RD), but the federal government wanted to hand over this component to all the provinces.
