00:00President Ferdinand R. Marcus Jr. wants to boost local seed production by involving graduates

00:05from state universities and colleges, or SUCs.

00:09He believes SUCs should focus on research and development, while graduates can manage

00:13seed production, allowing farmers to focus on growing crops.

00:17President Ferdinand R. Marcus Jr. encouraged government agencies to guide students toward

00:21seed production and suggested contracts to ensure a market for SUC-produced seeds.

00:27Ted Chairperson Prospero Dubera noted many SUCs have unused land for seedling production.

00:33President Marcus Jr. emphasized reducing reliance on imported seeds and increasing local production.
