Peer review
New releases, updated adoption data and estimated rates of economic return provide evidence that Malawi's maize research story can now be characterized as an emerging success. Malawi's programme has always included the concern for grain texture among breeding objectives. The active research time until the release by the national programme of hybrids that are adapted to small farmer needs is moderate. The lack of suitable germplasm and discontinuities of staff and funds contributed to lengthy calendar time. Sustained success depends on national commitment to smallholder development and continued investments in maize research and supporting seed production and input distribution systems.
