CGIAR collections, 2013 (number of samples per crop)

– Barley: ICARDA 27,000– Beans: CIAT

36,000– Chickpea: ICARDA + ICRISAT 34,000– Forages: CIAT + ICARDA + ILRI 66,000– Maize: CIMMYT +IITA 28,000– Potato: CIP

7,000– Rice: AfricaRice + IRRI 129,000– Wheat: CIMMYT + ICARDA 167,000

TOTAL for all crops ≈750,000

Approx. 100,000 samples distributed per year

The Global Crop Diversity Trust

• International organization– Secretariat in Bonn, Germany from January 2013

• Policy framework of International Treaty on PGRFA– Element of the funding strategy of the Treaty

• Governed by Executive Board– Treaty, Donors Council, FAO, CGIAR

• Endowment to secure long-term funding– Project funding to overcome key constraints
