CIMMYT provides a maize DH production service to NARS and private sector maize breeding programs in Africa and Latin America at its DH facilities in Kenya and Mexico. Public and private sector organizations involved in maize breeding are invited to take advantage of these services.
The purpose of CIMMYT’s maize DH production service is to empower maize breeding programs of partner institutions in low- and middle-income countries to accelerate their rate of genetic gain and fast-track product development to better serve farming communities.
