On Tuesday, the agronomist Jobert C. Angrand, Minister of Agriculture of Natural Resources and Rural Development (MARNDR) inaugurated the national laboratory for quality control of seeds at Tamarinier (Dept. West)

This laboratory will enable the national seed service (SNS) to control the quality of the seeds produced in the country, as well as to help it fulfill its role of certifying seeds sold on the market.

The ceremony took place among others, in the presence of the Director General of MARNDR, representatives of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), representatives of the IDB and the coordinator of the PTTA.

Minister Joubert C. Angrand, in his speech, took the opportunity to thank the partners who helped complete this great work for the benefit of the agricultural sector. He also invites SNS officials to get to work without further delay in order to make the service available 24 hours a day with the aim of providing important and effective results towards the establishment of a sustainable seed industry in the country.

It should be noted that this construction is made possible thanks to the financing of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the technical support of FAO.
