Since inception the seeds produced and procured by WBSSCL are being sold to the Directorate of Agriculture, Govt. of West Bengal under various schemes through its own set up located at different districts.
As per the agreed Action Plan of National Seed Programme, WBSSCL created Dealers Network including State & District level Distributors and channelized sale of seeds through them in addition to sale of seeds to the Directorate of Agriculture, Govt of West Bengal and other Departments of Govt of West Bengal.
For last few years, sale of seeds directly to the farmers are carried out through Dealer’s Network (total 47 dealers) apart from the supply of seeds and other inputs under different schemes of various Departments of Govt. of West Bengal and other State Governments which are taken care of by the Corporation itself. Recently, WBSSCL has decided to push up direct sale of seeds to the farmers by re-strengthening its Dealer’s Network at all levels from Panchayat to District. Accordingly, new dealers are being appointed and dormant dealers are revived as a follow up step.
