Key words: Bénin, genetic quality, growth dynamics, innovation, institutions, multistakeholders process, oil palm, perennials, physiological quality, pot size, seed quality, seed systems, smallholders, social learning. The seed supply system used by smallholder farmers is characterised by many dysfunctions. For perennials, including oil palm, there is a knowledge gap regarding these dysfunctions. In this thesis, we used oil palm as a case to analyse the performance of seed systems. We conducted social surveys, sampled farmers’ oil palm plots, ran field experiments and documented the social learning process of stakeholders involved. To identify major constraints in the seed system, we conducted a diagnostic study using farmers’ p...
