      abstract = {Farmers need access to certified seed stocks for efficient  production of traditional African vegetable seed. However,  access to quality certified seed is constrained by several  factors. Primary data from four selected regions of  Tanzania was analyzed to examine the causal linkages among  traditional African vegetable farmers’ decisions to  participate in farmer-led seed enterprises and their access  to quality certified seeds. The effect of farmers’ access  to certified traditional African vegetable seed on revenue  generated from their seed sales in the study locale was  assessed. This study concludes that farmers’ revenue from  traditional vegetable seed sales is positively and  significantly influenced by access to certified seed.  Indeed, access to certified seed can be increased, if  farmers participate in farmer-led seed enterprises, and if  they have more frequent contact with village extensionists.  Relevant policy actions and recommendations for improving  farmer-led seed enterprises are offered.},
