This section, which had no previous relationship with the OBS, was the first to sign a convention. I consider that the OBS and the section have succeeded in this: to prove the interest of a process of varietal creation for a very specific production, very isolated compared to the national section. </ P>
As in shallot, the OBS produces the basic seeds, and the producers themselves multiply the seeds. So there is no question here of self-financing the plants breeding through the sale of seeds. The producers and their section took on their responsibilities and were able to set up and finance this agreement. Three varieties were selected, the program continues.
