The International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) will serve as the South Asia hub for Breeding Resources, part of CGIAR’s Breeding for Tomorrow (B4T) Science Program, which offers shared tools and services to speed up crop improvement and drive agricultural innovation.
Crops& Seed
This partnership adopts a unified implementation model, where ICRISAT will deliver breeding and research services in South Asia following the same high standards, operational protocols, and workflows used by other Breeding Resources hubs globally—such as the International Rice Research Institute in Asia and AfricaRice in West and Central Africa. This approach guarantees consistent quality and value for breeders and researchers, regardless of the service provider.
