In this chapter, the contribution of the International Potato Centre (CIP) in Peru to potato cultivar development in developing countries (Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America) is discussed, covering staffing patterns, varietal release and varietal adoption. Information on expected productivity gains from potato breeding is reviewed, and the rate of return to potato breeding at CIP is described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
