But due to the massive campaign in the planting of
hybrid rice it might be safe to estimate 50% of the Provincial
Rice Production Area about 26,000 ha would be the target
potential area for inbred.

Identified Marketing Identified Marketing Problems of Seed GrowersProblems of Seed Growers
1. Limited market of inbred Certified Seed if there is no government subsidy.
2. Only one package size of 40kg is available.
3. Payment of Certified Seeds takes a long time.
