This report examines maize research in the developing world, focusing primarily on crop breeding by the public sector (national research programs and international agricultural research centers). Based on a survey of developing country maize research programs, the report reviews the level of human and financial resources invested in public sector maize research in Africa, Asia, West Asia/North Africa, and Latin America. The products of that research (particularly improved varieties and hybrids generated by public sector crop breeding programs during the past 25 years) are described, as well as their impacts in farmers' fields. A general approach to analyzing returns to research is reviewed, and several case studies of the returns to maize research are briefly described. The report concludes with a discussion of how such studies must be improved to meet the increasing demand for information to justify research resource allocation decisions.
