3 Our goal – cultivars and seed adapted to small-scale low-input rural agriculture
• Seeds are often very expensive $0.15 -0.25/seed!!

40 Challenges
• Post – harvest characteristics - cant just produce, you have to market to consumers • Producing and storing seed
- our partners need knowledge and technology in seed storage and drying • Seed technology is available through sister HortCRSP projects – Kent Bradford
![Page 41: 1 Semillas de Esperanza · GOALS: Semillas de Esperanza. I. Work with women’s groups to develop . vegetable production and marketing as a . business through improved cultivars](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052012/6027d5e6196f980d5b66c576/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41 Post harvest fruit evaluation
• Work with regional specialists in post harvest to evaluate our selected cultivars for : firmness, pH, Brix, color, viscosity, disease, etc..
• This is a different approach to post-harvest no coolers or gadgets, but rather, genetics
![Page 42: 1 Semillas de Esperanza · GOALS: Semillas de Esperanza. I. Work with women’s groups to develop . vegetable production and marketing as a . business through improved cultivars](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052012/6027d5e6196f980d5b66c576/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

46 Another huge challenge for us Post harvest seed technology
• Drying beads – Kent Bradford
• We will to organize a summer workshop to transfer the beads and technology to our women’s groups, but ……seeking to somehow fund this…………

48 Curse of success: achieved many goals, but is it a sustainable business for our women’s groups?
• seed business is not trivial - need more technology and business skills
Knowledge, Technology, hands-on experience
