<![CDATA[East Flores is sourced reference of superio cashew seeds, so that this region is potentially a superior seed producer of cashew for development program in the future. This study aimed to analyze supply chain management (SCM) and development strategy of cashew superior seed. The research was conducted in East Flores, East Nusa Tenggara Province in June - August 2010. The data used are primary and secondary data. Analysis used model of supply chain management. The results showed that the demand for cashew seed is dependent on the procurement project undertaken by the government. The time often not coincide with the harvest of cashew seeds.

Strategies that can be achieved are: (i) government needs to encourage the process of seed certification by an official agency, (ii) developing the seed garden in an amount sufficient to consider the projected seed demand in the future, either in the form of seeds and scion, (iii) the farmer / farmer group, the owner of seed source should be able to apply the seed stock management so that demand outside the crop seed remain to be fulfilled, (iv) the breeder needs to make improvements in a poly bag seed distribution methods, (v) The Government needs to introduce grafting technology, particularly to the breeder and farmer groups, (vi) The Government needs to do the planning and mapping needs and promoting improved s eed varieties MPF 1. ]]>
