| Reporting status | Approved |
| Innovation Type | Production systems and Management practices |
Stage reached
| Stage of Innovation | Stage 3: available/ ready for uptake |
| Year (Stage) | 2020 |
| Stage Description | Production mechanism that certified seed from cuttings produced in the nursery ready for adoption, hence allowing to manage the entire production system internally. Smallholder farmers within the community of the nursery in Kenya and Uganda bought cuttings to produce seed on-farm for the next season. |
