| The
delivery of bio-engineered products to the end-user is an important
aspect which has to be considered. Depending on the type of product
or crop, there may be a commercial seed distribution system which
can be utilized. Alternatively, informal networks may have to
be used for situations where there is no return to seed growers.
Stimulation of a commercial seed sector by the introduction of
bio-engineered varieties will encourage all plant breeding activities.
It is very important that farmers are given not only the choice
to use the bio-engineered products, but also the information
to understand the benefits and any risks associated with them.
Thus the distribution system will have to be backed up with
information and education to empower farmers and enable them
to get the best use of the improved products.
