  • Why do Rwandan farmers need 80% of improved seed?
  • Rwandan farmers now source 80% of improved seed locally. ¡°Farmers are able to get quality seeds at affordable prices and plant on time. This is important to improve crop production and farmers¡¯ household incomes,¡± said Fidel Nizeyimana, a researcher at the Rwanda Agriculture Board.
  • What is Rwanda Improved Seed Company (Risco)?
  • Likewise, the Rwanda Improved Seed Company (RISCO) has increased its production of maize and bean seed to 100 tons per season from just 12 tons previously. Through the partnership, RISCO has increased its cultivation of early generation seed from 30 to 84 hectares, creating new employment opportunities as well.
  • How has training changed the seed sector in Rwanda?
  • These trainings have radically changed the seed sector in Rwanda by creating a pool of local researchers that have to date participated in the development of 47 varieties of different seed crops, among them maize, beans, soybeans, Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, bananas and more.
  • Why does Rwanda import petroleum products from abroad?
  • Currently, Rwanda imports all its petroleum products requirements from abroad since there is no local production. The main policy objective for the sub-sector is to ensure safe, sufficient, reliable, sustainable and affordable supply of petroleum product. This entails boosting investments in supply and storage infrastructure. 1.
