Dutch term or phrase: zaadvermeerdering
Bijv.:
"Er gaat een hele keten van veredeling tot zaaizaadvermeerdering en distributie aan vooraf, voordat een boer goede zaden in handen heeft."

"Bij elke vermeerdering houden we zaadjes apart voor duplicering in Europa en triplicering in Spitsbergen."

Ik vind dit online ook wel vertaald als "seed production". Mijn vraag is eigenlijk of het nodig is dat "multiplication" in de term expliciet weer te geven.

Explanation:
to answer your question:
IMO production is fine when it comes to seed. For plants, it would be propagation and not multiplication.

"Seed multiplication

Farmers are encouraged to take up seed production by being provided with seeds for this specific purpose. Most often, these seeds are sourced from the community seed bank. Interested farmers then multiply these seeds to return to the bank, which distributes them to members outside the community or village, with profits from the endeavour being used to expand the seed bank.

Seeds produced are also sold through the farmers’ society of Janadhanya, which works in collaboration with community seed banks and farmers to further develop farmer initiatives within an area.

Seed multiplication is important in that it helps enrich the biodiversity of a local area by making available many indigenous seed varieties to farmers who hitherto had no access to the seeds. It is also an income generating scheme where individual farmers are compensated for their efforts in seed production."

Asker: Thank you for the ref! But how do you (or how does Huitenga) feel about "vermeerdering"/"multiplication" when talking about plants/material, rather than seeds?See my further comments about the term in the discussion box above.

agree  Kitty Brussaard: Another good option, although a slightly more ambiguous one than 'seed multiplícation' as it may also refer to the biological process of seed production in plants as such. / OK, thanks for sharing.

  -> Thanks, point taken, but multiplication does not sound right. I do a lot of work in this field and I've always been told to use production.
