Item type: Item , Scaling Strategy for Smart Nkunganire System (SNS) in Rwanda: Increasing the Incomes of Smallholder Farmers between 2025 to 2028(Report, 2025-11) Sartas, M.; Mudereri, B.T.; Kihoro, Esther; Senge, M.; Rabourn, T.R.; Ogunsanmi, T.; Uzamushaka, S.; Kangethe, E.; Muzata, B.S.; Guchu, W.The Smart Nkunganire System (SNS), a digital platform developed through a public-private partnership, has revolutionised Rwanda's input supply chain since its launch in 2017. It has registered over 2.4 million farmers, facilitated the distribution of over 131,380 metric tons of agro-inputs, and managed transactions exceeding 85 billion RWF annually. This strategy outlines a plan to scale the SNS fertiliser recommendation module between 2025 and 2028, aiming to significantly improve the incomes of smallholder farmers while contributing to Rwanda's food security and economic growth.Item type: Item , Smart Fertiliser Recommendations for Maize in Rwanda(Report, 2025-11) Mudereri, B.T.; Chernet, M.; Cyamweshi, A.R.; Kayumba, J.; Nshimiyimana, J.C.; Vandamme, Elke; Uzamushaka, S.; Kreye, C.; Abera, W.; Aubert, C.This study evaluated the performance of three fertiliser recommendation strategies: the Blanket Recommendation (BR), Improved Blanket Recommendation (IBR), and Site-Specific Recommendation (SSR), for maize production across Rwanda. Implemented under the RAB–CGIAR partnership (RwaSIS and Sustainable Farming Programme (SFP) initiatives), the trials aimed to determine whether data-driven, site-specific fertiliser management can enhance productivity and profitability compared to the traditional national blanket approach.Item type: Item , Análisis comparativo de los marcos normativos sobre cultivos nativos y semillas en Bolivia, Ecuador y Perú: avances y desafíos(Report, 2025) Ruiz Muller, M.The document provides a comparative analysis of the legal frameworks, public policies, and institutions governing native crops and seeds in Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru. It explains how numerous regulatory instruments developed in recent decades often overlap, creating complexity in understanding their goals and implementation. The text highlights the increasing recognition of smallholder Andean farmers and the importance of native crops for food security and climate adaptation. It also shows how national progress aligns with international trends, emphasizing that the upcoming meeting of the ITPGRFA Governing Body offers a timely opportunity to assess advances and remaining challenges.Item type: Item , Elementos estratégicos del CIP para la difusión y posicionamiento de los resultados de la biofortificación de la papa en el Perú(Report, 2025) Ordinola, M.; Andrade-Piedra, J.L.; Burgos, G.; Hareau, G.; Pérez, W.; Salas, E.; Pradel, W.; Polar, V.El documento presenta la estrategia institucional del CIP para posicionar los resultados de biofortificación de papa en el Perú, desarrollada mediante fitomejoramiento convencional para aumentar el contenido de hierro y zinc en variedades locales y mejoradas. El propósito es reducir la anemia y la desnutrición crónica infantil, especialmente en zonas rurales altoandinas. La estrategia abarca cinco ejes: promoción del consumo, producción de semilla de calidad, fortalecimiento de cadenas de valor, alianzas público-privadas y organización interna del CIP. Incluye fases progresivas de visibilización (2025), consolidación (2026–2028) y difusión nacional (2028 en adelante). Se destaca su enfoque multisectorial, articulando agricultura, nutrición y políticas públicas bajo un marco de seguridad alimentaria y nutricional sostenible.Item type: Item , The Inception Workshop: Co-designing the Project on Potato Production Through Zero Tillage Straw Mulching in Odisha, India(Report, 2025) International Potato Center; International Rice Research InstituteThis workshop report documents the inception meeting of the collaborative project Potato Production through Zero Tillage with Rice Straw Mulch (PZTM) held in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, on 14 October 2025. The event brought together 50 participants (25 women, 25 men) from the Government of Odisha, academia, farmer producer organizations (FPOs), women’s self-help groups (SHGs), and private sector partners. PZTM is a women-friendly, climate-smart, and resource-efficient practice that cultivates potatoes directly in rice straw mulch without prior tillage, enhancing soil health, conserving moisture, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The workshop focused on co-designing a participatory implementation plan that promotes gender equity and mechanized solutions for scaling. The report highlights discussions on four thematic areas: (1) Women-led scaling models, (2) Mechanized PZTM, (3) Integration with direct-seeded rice (DSR) systems, and (4) Gender-responsive digital advisory services. Field demonstrations and farmer field days are scheduled across Pipili, Nimapada, and Balipatana during the 2025–26 rabi season. The initiative supports CGIAR’s mission to strengthen climate-resilient, inclusive, and sustainable root crop production systems.Item type: Item , Community Food Rescue and Food Banks in Peru: Local experiences to improve food nutrition in Lima peri-urban suburbs(Report, 2025-09) Pradel, W.; Santandreu, A.; Fuentes, A.; Tueroconza, E.; Ninahuamán, J.; López, D.This report documents community-led food rescue and food bank initiatives in Lima, Peru, focusing on REDOPA’s model of recovering surplus food from farms and wholesale markets. Led primarily by women from community kitchens, these initiatives have reduced waste, improved access to nutritious foods, and strengthened local food systems. Despite regulatory challenges, food rescue efforts demonstrate scalable solutions for addressing food insecurity and environmental sustainability. The report highlights the importance of institutional support, clear policy frameworks, and community autonomy in building resilient food systems.Item type: Item , An assessment framework to identify suitable locations for potato production under zero tillage and mulching in South Asia(Report, 2025-08) Kawarazuka, Nozomi; Burman, D.; Kakraliya, S.K.; Rahaman, E.H.M.S.; Hossain, M.; Kreuze, Jan F.Item type: Item , Detection of potato virus PVY by RT-PCR (CIP-SOP-GHU-P0-09, v.2)(Report, 2025) Amao, M.; Muller, G.Item type: Item , The Stakeholder Meeting on Developing a Combine Harvester for Potato Zero Tillage Rice Straw Mulch(Report, 2025-07) International Potato Center; International Rice Research InstituteItem type: Item , Audited financial statements and complementary information.

Despite their significance, demand for improved varieties of these crops is still very low, due to several barriers including, limited access to quality planting materials, low consumer awareness, among others. While these traditional barriers to improved variety adoption are binding, neglect of end-user preferences, especially for quality traits, in the variety development process is gaining tract as an important constraint to widespread adoption of new improved varieties. This has led to a shift in breeding programs towards demand-led breeding for enhanced acceptability of new varieties for higher adoption. These studies aim to understand the acceptability of advanced clones of RTB crops emanating from demand-led breeding lines, as an indication of their acceptability and potential adoption by end-users, and for feedback to the breeding programs on trait prioritization. The studies employ an experimental auction approach to elicit consumer demand for advanced breeding clones of sweetpotato, cassava and plantain across three countries (Uganda, Nigeria, and Cote D’Ivoire), based on various quality traits The study finds that consumer demand for improved sweetpotato clones in Uganda is significantly influenced by sensory attributes such as taste and appearance, and that urban consumers have higher WTP for clones that are nutritionally enhanced and have better taste, compared to their rural counterparts. Similar patterns are observed in Nigeria and Cote D’Ivoire, where cassava products like gari and fufu, and plantain, respectively, are preferred based on traditional consumption traits. The studies highlight the importance of understanding end-user demand for RTBs products, based on intrinsic preferences, and the need for prioritizing quality traits such as taste, nutrition, and visual appearance, in the development of new improved RTB varieties, for enhanced acceptance, demand, and adoption. Similarly, on the demand side, the studies show that enhancing consumer awareness on hidden traits, such as nutritional benefits, are critical in improving demand for varieties with such traits.Item type: Item , Item type: Item , Costing report: White/Cream Fleshed Product Profile.
