billion gallons in 2022
– 134 ethanol plants operating, 77 more under
construction or expansion
• Corn prices projected to increase in the range of
23 to 41%
Tremendous pressure on researchers
of public and private sector to find
ways to increase productivity

Socio economic constraints
• Small marginal farmers with subsistence farming mindset
• Poorly managed or non-functional Govt. extension systems
• Lack of awareness about new technology
• Lack of willingness or ability to invest in agri inputs
• Last mile gap (in remote areas) in the delivery / distribution channels
• Restricted seed supplies due to policy restrictions
![Page 20: S8.2. Maize seed sector in Asia and Public Private Partnership For Maize Research & Development](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052316/5583b49ed8b42a55028b4bdb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Trained man power and Funding
• Agriculture Science in seen less preferred and hence is a challenge for private and public sector to attract the best talents for agriculture research.
• Priority has change in past few year and food production is not getting less priority.
• Less funding affecting basic fundamental research in last few years.
• Trust between private and pubic sector ? • Not enough breeders to push genetic gain further.
![Page 21: S8.2. Maize seed sector in Asia and Public Private Partnership For Maize Research & Development](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052316/5583b49ed8b42a55028b4bdb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
In Bioseed we build strong customer interfaces to better
understand their requirements
![Page 22: S8.2. Maize seed sector in Asia and Public Private Partnership For Maize Research & Development](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052316/5583b49ed8b42a55028b4bdb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Technology development
• Focus on customer requirements and not
customer profiles
• Understanding what is economic value for the
farmers
– High and Stable grain yield
– Fodder yield (if relevant)
– Low input costs (water, fertilizer, chemicals, labor,
etc.)
– Fit in the cropping system
– Post harvest storability of produce
– Differential price of produce
![Page 23: S8.2. Maize seed sector in Asia and Public Private Partnership For Maize Research & Development](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052316/5583b49ed8b42a55028b4bdb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Technology development
• Developing products (not just hybrids or
varieties) which can improve farmers’ incomes
and profits
– Must have added economic value for customers
– Must be economically producible
– Must allow for recovery of the value created
• Delivering the right technology solutions to the
farmers to achieve high adoption rates
![Page 24: S8.2. Maize seed sector in Asia and Public Private Partnership For Maize Research & Development](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052316/5583b49ed8b42a55028b4bdb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Non-GM applications of biotechnology
• Use of Molecular markers
– Stacking of traits
– Increasing breeding gains ( by creating
the Heterotic groups )
– Accelerating product development
cycles
– Quality assurance
– Protection of IP
• Functional genomics
• Other tools viz. Doubled haploid,
etc.

GM applications of biotechnology • Success achieved
– Weed management
– Insect resistance
– Nutritional enhancement
• Nearing success – Drought tolerance
– Nutritional enhancement
• Early stage of development – Nutrient Use Efficiency
– Disease resistance
– Yield enhancement
– Utility enhancement

• To make Agriculture a preferred profession.
• Review our curriculum and teaching methodology in order to meet the requirements of private and public sector agricultural research for future.
• Expose the students to the state of the art equipment and research infrastructure in private sector (data acquisition and analysis, etc).
• Accumulated wisdom of the private sector provides a large reservoir of experiential learning that could be used in teaching.
• Young professionals need to develop additional education to handle the current challenges in those areas that are more valued in the private sector than in the public sector.
Public Private Need Work together For……
![Page 28: S8.2. Maize seed sector in Asia and Public Private Partnership For Maize Research & Development](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052316/5583b49ed8b42a55028b4bdb/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• Young breeder/students need to be exposed to plant breeding and other agricultural areas by working in breeding projects, seed production, etc. It will help to give them favorable view of the science.
• Private Sector need to provide scholarship programs to the breeders/ scientists and also can have some collaboration with the Public Sector for basic research of the interest of private sector .
• Private sector should provide enough job opportunities.
• Working to achieve a Common Goal - to improve the productivity .
Public Private partnership
![Page 29: S8.2. Maize seed sector in Asia and Public Private Partnership For Maize Research & Development](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052316/5583b49ed8b42a55028b4bdb/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Some challenges
• Increased investment in agricultural research
• Increase our understanding of biology
• Adequate availability of plant breeders
• Create successful public private partnerships
– Complementary in nature with no overlaps
– Clearly defined objectives and milestones
– Equitable resource and benefit sharing
– Based on mutual respect for each others’
capabilities
– Clear agreement on IP issues
![Page 30: S8.2. Maize seed sector in Asia and Public Private Partnership For Maize Research & Development](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052316/5583b49ed8b42a55028b4bdb/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Asian Breeding program V/s US breeding Program
• Asian Breeders need to think …….
– To categorize the tropical corn germplasm in different heterotic group
– Enough focus on the new emerging problem in corn growing area.
– Develop a systematic approach to tropicalaize the temperate material rather than using it directly
( we can learn form GEM program of USA )
Public and Private sector need work together to improve the genetic gains

(Pearl millet, Sorghum, Pigeon pea)
• IRRI’s hybrid rice development consortium
• CIMMIYT - Maize consortium ( IMIC)
Some more partnership Need to Identified and develop between National research institute and private seed sector

Summary • Tremendous pressure to increase corn productivity in Asia
in view of the projected demand and price of corn
• Tremendous opportunity to increase productivity in view of huge gaps which exist today
• Private and public sector need to work together to increase the genetic gain
• Economic returns to farmers and other stake holders must be kept in mind when developing new technologies
• Use of biotechnology must be encouraged
• Increased investments in agricultural research and human resource development
• Successful public private partnerships must be created
……. To meet the challenges that we have
