improvement.
Reduced postharvest losses
Result
Strategy 2
Smallholder
farmers
adopt postharvest
technologies
Maize breeding gains
are achieved more
quickly and efficiently
by public and private
sector breeders with a
broader genetic base
Result
Strategy 2
Reduced aflatoxin
in maize value
chain
Smallholder farmers
adopt mycotoxin
mitigation
technologies
Post-harvest
technologies are
promoted by
NARES, NGO, and
private companies
NARS and SMEs
utilize novel tools
to accelerate
maize breeding
gains for
smallholder
farmers
Cutting-edge data and
knowledge on maize
genetic diversity and
sources of new allelic
variation are utilized
by public and private
sector
Maize lines
and varieties
that are biofortified for provitamin A, zinc,
or essential
amino acids.
