Svalöf Consulting is currently developing its consulting activities in the seed sector, mainly in Central Asia, based on well-established relations with the agricultural and food sectors in Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and neighbouring countries. It is also assisting the development of Genetic Resources Networks and Seed Trade Associations in those countries as key supports to the seed sector.
Svalöf Consulting supports the strategy to modernise these sectors which is a given key objective of international agencies and national governments. Current concerns about global food supply and national food security add urgency to this task
Svalöf Consulting provides technical and policy assistance through project management,  training and planning. Through its projects in Central Asia, the company has gained special experience in assisting the transition and structural reform of the seed sector to a market-driven model.  This remains a challenge in many emerging economies due to the reduction in public funding.
 

Svalöf Consulting focuses on the upgrading of seed industries by:

• Strengthening the institutional and regulatory structures,
• Enhancing the technology and management of plant breeding,
• Raising the operational performance of certification and quality control agencies to international standards,
• Improving seed production management practices and techniques,
• Modernizing seed processing techniques and logistics,
• Expanding local seed markets and promoting commercial linkages to regional and global seed markets, through an integrated ‘Seed Chain’,
• Providing the policy and legal framework for the creation and strengthening of a market driven seed industry.
