The document discusses problems with seed storage and distribution in Brazil and proposes a solution of Seed Distribution Centers (SDCs). The main problems addressed are: 1) most rural producers lack adequate short-term seed storage, 2) seed quality decreases with non-ideal storage and transport conditions, and 3) the concentrated delivery period causes issues for seed companies and transport availability. SDCs are proposed to store seeds under controlled conditions and offer industrial treatment equipment, which could help address these issues.

Seed Distribution Center since a seed is an extremely perishable MAIN PROBLEMS TO BE
A Concept Evolution in Seed Production product. This is due to the fact that ADDRESSED production is concentrated in specific regions within states and around the It is a fact that most rural country where environmental conditions producers do not have adequate enable the production of high-quality seed storage facilities in their seeds. properties, even for the short-term. By Rogério Coimbra, PhD One way of solving this storage and Currently, producers can access Professor at UFMT, Sinop Campus distribution problem is to increase the information and are aware that range of production areas. However, seed quality can decrease when further relevant studies are required, such exposed to non-ideal storage and as in terms of lower altitudes, temperature transportation conditions. Therefore, About the author increases at night, and encouraging plants farmers do not accept seed lots The seed production and companies, in addition to spend more energy on the respiratory before the recommended sowing Coimbra graduated system is one of the most to a vast number of jobs. process, thereby, leading to the production period, thus, concentrating the seed with a degree in important factors in the How can we increase the of seeds that may be less vigorous. In delivery season and causing serious agronomy and a PhD Brazilian agribusiness quantity of seeds produced addition, the management of pests and problems to the distribution of seed in seed technology. chain, involving sectors without compromising diseases will become more intense, lots before the sowing process. Currently, he is resulting in higher production costs. The first problem occurs with associated professor ranging from seed supply, quality? To answer this the packaging industry, question, the focus Nevertheless, some regions offer good seed producing companies, because (level III in full-time), at the Federal University and many professionals must be on research- environmental conditions, such as Lagoa the dispositions of seed lots stored of Mato Grosso-Sinop specializing in production, generated technology, da Confusão in the state of Tocantins, in warehouses does not always Unit, teaching classes quality control, marketing such as the development Brazil.
