National Seed Regulatory Agencies

National Seed Regulatory Agencies are government bodies responsible for overseeing the quality, safety, and standards of seeds used in agriculture within a country. They ensure that seeds are healthy, true to type, and meet certain quality criteria before they're sold to farmers. These agencies also regulate seed production, certification, and distribution processes to promote agricultural productivity and protect farmers from substandard seeds. By maintaining strict standards, they help support sustainable farming and food security.
