Improved market opportunity for farmers Assumptions Farmers are convinced of the value of new maize varieties and are willing and able to purchase. Seed companies deliver quality seed ,at a competitive price ,in a timely manner. New maize varieties are more profitable than existing commercial varieties or confer greater fitness for the farmers environment. Assumptions Seed companies & NARS have capacity (technical/financial) to produce breeders & basic seed. Assumptions Seed companies & NARS are willing & able to put new maize varieties NPT testing &/or DUSRegional on-station testingAssumptions Public (NARS) and Private (SME seed companies) are willing and able to test new germplasm. Germplasm originating from MAIZE CRP is better than commercial checksNew high yielding, stress tolerant and nutrient enhanced maize varietiesAssumptions Public (NARS) and Private (SME seed companies) are willing and able to test new germplasm.
