Your circulating ideas about seeds, seeds preservation and propagation is attracting the attention of so many scholars these days specially in South Sudan, but the idea had to be taken over by these scholars not only as ideas and academic analysis or research results and outputs, however, an interest could be cultivated to turn this matter of seeds as a business and privatize the business of research and thus turn agriculture to a business in the newly independent nation like South Sudan. This country is rich in terms of undiscovered local varieties of sorghum seeds that are palatable to the local communities specially in the semi arid and arid zones of the country where root crops cannot do well, these varieties have been there without any scientific attention but the locals have made their own selections according to the mentioned zones or flood prone areas. Such ideas need to be geared towards agricultural Banks to come up with a policy attracting
 those who want to make business in that field.
