"plantar para semente" ou "produzir para semente"

English translation: Sow for seed

12:56 Apr 28, 2005
Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Social Sciences - Agriculture / small farming - production under contract
Portuguese term or phrase: "plantar para semente" ou "produzir para semente"
Como descrever o seguinte fato: O pequeno produtor afirma "plantar ou produzir para semente" (nas palavras dele). Na pratica, sao empresas fornecedoras de sementes o trabalho(a terra e a mao-de-obra) desses pequenos produtores. Nessa relacao contratual, a empresa garante a compra do produto final - as sementes - que deverao alcancar niveis determinados de germinacao. Caso nao alcancem tais niveis, nao se efetua a compra da producao das sementes. Como devo me referir a essa "producao para sementes" que ocorre nesse contexto e sem alterar significativamente a resposta (wording) dos pequenos produtores? Obrigada desde ja.

Thank you. Indeed: seeds are sowed. I am considering the option: sowing for seeds production. Would it be ok?
