ABSTRACT={The objective of this article is to estimate adoption rates and factors determining certified seeds developed by research institutions. Using data from annual agricultural surveys (EAA) of the Department of Analysis, Forecasting and Agricultural Statistics (DAPSA) from 2018-2019. The results reveal a potential adoption rate at the household level of 72.86% and a current adoption rate of certified seeds of 18.25%. This level of adoption could have been effective if all farmers had been informed, made aware and supported. However, it is still possible to improve the adoption rate considerably by implementing a strategy to identify producers likely to adopt. However, the work reveals that apart from exposure, other factors such as insurance, membership in a PO, transfer of funds, subsidy, male gender and cereal cultivation are determinants significant in the adoption of certified seeds.}}
