NERICA: Higher Yields, Resilience, and Profitability for African Farmers. NERICA varieties mark a pivotal shift in African agriculture. Bred by crossing native landraces with Asian rice, they deliver higher yields and robust resistance to pests and diseases compared to conventional varieties. Their innate resilience to nutrient and water limitations makes them a strategic asset for enhancing farmers' productivity and profitability while reducing reliance on staple food imports. With lowland NERICA tailored for valleys and floodplains with sporadic water stress, and upland NERICA ideal for hilltops and elevated plateaus facing more frequent challenges, this technology is reshaping farming landscapes across Sub-Saharan Africa. It empowers farmers with a reliable, high-yielding resource that not only boosts food security but also drives economic stability in the region.
Resilient and Nutrient-Rich OFSP for Better Agriculture The technology of "Drought and Virus Tolerant Orange-Fleshed Sweet Potato" holds paramount significance in Sub-Saharan Africa. It addresses critical agricultural challenges by providing cultivars of orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) tailored to combat drought, heat stress, and viral infections. These specially bred OFSP varieties offer rapid harvest maturity, completing their growth cycle within 90 days, which is particularly beneficial in regions with uncertain rainfall patterns towards the end of the growing season. Furthermore, the introduction of OFSP varieties resistant to a range of viruses and destructive insects has significantly bolstered crop resilience. This technology not only enhances food security but also contributes to economic sustainability for communities in the region.
Better Plantain Varieties for Thriving Farmers Plantain is a crucial staple in Central and West Africa, ranking third after yam and cassava. However, its production faces significant challenges, particularly from black leaf streak disease, weevils, and nematodes. These factors lead to substantial yield losses. Population growth further strains resources, affecting soil fertility. The development of disease-resistant hybrids is a pivotal response to these challenges. These improved plantain varieties not only offer heightened resistance but also focus on high productivity, drought resilience, and preferred cooking traits.
Strong Crops, Healthy People The technology "Millet and Sorghum Varieties for Better Nutrition and Stress Resistance" addresses the pressing issue of low millet and sorghum yields in Africa, resulting in food insecurity and malnutrition. It offers new, high-yielding, bio-fortified varieties that can withstand drought, heat, and pests. These innovations not only enhance food production but also improve taste, cooking qualities, and potential for value addition and marketing, with applications spanning from food and feed to brewing and biofuels.
