520 |a Unless more effective ways can be found to deliver high-yielding seed to farmers in developing countries, the hoped-for “green revolution” in maize production will remain elusive. This comprehensive reference examines the spectrum of technical, economic, and institutional issues that will have to be resolved if maize seed industries are to succeed in reaching greater numbers of those farmers. Ten thematic chapters are followed by nine case studies illustrating the range of developmental paths taken by national maize seed industries—and indicating which institutional arrangements appear to be most effective at fostering rapid and equitable growth in maize production.
