Fo r th e resea rch ce nters of th e CGIAR system, th e 1998 Sys tem Rev iew prov ided a re soundin g
co nfirm ation of a history of exce ll ence. Th e Rev iew Panel's Ch airperson , M auri ce Stron g, affirmed:
" In ves tm ent in th e CGIAR ha s been the single most effec ti ve use of offi c ial deve lopmen l ass istance

At CIP, we had ju st co mpl eted a yea r of ca reful sc rutin y and pri o riti zat ion of o ur re sear[ h program ,
from w hi c h emerged the new CIP project-b ased manage ment sys tem. Our new portfoli o of 1 7 rese arc h

and fi ve on man age ment of natur al resources.
Th e new proj ect-b ased system was put to th e tes t in 1998. Our sc ientists rose to the add ed c hallen ge
and responsibility of direct proj ect and subproj ect man age ment. In parti cul ar, th e te am leaders- many

Agricultural Technology
Helps Feed Refugees
After the civil war and assoc iated genocide in Rwand a in June and July, 1994, more th an one million refugees
strea med over the border into neighborin g areas of Zaire (now the Democratic Republi c of Co ngo). Refugee camps
were set up under the ausp ices of the United Nations and several NGOs. The di splaced population lived in th ese
camps fo r a littl e over two years, until they were dispersed in October, 1996-some to their home country of
Rwanda, and some to other parts of the DRC. A 1998 survey on the impact of thi s cr isis on local agri culture was
carried out in South Kivu, DRC, by Motombo Tanga nik and Phemba Phezo of INERA, the national agri cultural
resea rch in stitute.
The national potato and sweetpotato programs of INERA are based at the Mulungu Research Station in Bukavu, DRC,
near the erstwhile refugee camps. These programs are par~ of the PRAPACE network, and they have received
adva nced germplasm and training from CIP for th e past 20 years. The station became invo lved in multiplying
planting material for loca l fa rmers, w ho sold th eir harvest directly to the refugees as well as to the relief agencies.
The highlands of South Kivu are mountainous, and arab le land is located in mid- and hi gh elevation areas (1,4002,500 meters above sea leve l). The predominant crop is bananas, consumed primaril y as loca l beer. The major
stap les are sweetpotato, beans, maize, cassava, and potato. Sweetpotato, known as cilera abana, or "protector of th e
ch ildren," is uni versa ll y grown on a sma ll sca le for food secu ri ty. Along w ith other vegetab les, potatoes are w idely
grown in drained swamps as a cas h crop-mostly by weal thi er members of the community. During th e crisis,
farmers were able to rapidly intensify production of both of these crops in response to th e refugee market.
Responding to increased market demand from the refugees, most potato farmers in creased their cropping intensity
from one to two or even three crops a year. Over half the fa rm ers interviewed dec reased area planted to other crop s
in order to increase potato production. Thi s occurred at the expense of bean, maize, cassava, and so rghum crops .
Two-thirds of the farmers adopted new varieties, including Cruza 748 (720 118), introduced from Mexico in the late
1970s. Thi s variety is relative ly high yielding, resista nt to late blight, and tolerant to bacterial wi lt. Adoption has
been limited by its relatively poor cu lin ary quality, which makes it difficult to market. But this was obv iou sly not a
major issue for the refugee market, and it quickl y became the most w idely grown va ri ety. Other estab lished
vari eties-Montsama (720049) and the Rwandan selection Mabondo--were also adopted. Seed was obtained from
the Mulungu research station and from extension and NGOs. Some seed was brought by the refugees themselves.
The ava il ability of refugees for labor encouraged local fa rmers to adopt relatively labor- intensive practices. These
in cluded heavy mulching at planting, deep tillage, preparation and application of organic compost, draining swampy
plots, and hi gher hilling. Over half the fa rmers increased their use of fungicides to control late blight, and 42 percent
rogued out diseased or other suspic ious pl ants to improve seed quality.
The presence of a ready market encouraged a signifi cant increase in sweetpotato production by all farmers
interviewed. The vast majority of them began to culti vate sweetpotato twice a year, reduc ing area planted in mai ze,
beans, pea nuts, and vegetab les. Over half the farmers planted new va ri eties, ava il ab le from th e Mu lun gu station.
These new va ri eties had been se lected primarily for earlin ess and hi gh yie ld: Karebe II and Mugande, reg ional
farmers' varieties initi ally identifi ed as superior by the Rwandan research program; Yanshu 1, a hi gh-y ielding and
early Chinese variety, norma lly sco red as marginal by taste panels in Africa; Mulungu I , a loca l Co ngo lese farmers'
var iety recently identifi ed as superi or by researchers; and Benikomachi, a Japanese variety with relatively low yield
but exce llent taste. Farmer preference for Yanshu 7 over the better-tasting Benikomachi indicated the refugee
market's wi llingness to accept va ri eties w ith relatively low culin ary quality.
This case stud y illu strates the positive effects of applying agri cu ltural technology in a rapid response program on
disaster reli ef w hose cost is in creasi ng at an alarming rate in sub-Saha ran Afr ica. Both potato and sweetpotato w ill
have im porta nt roles to play as short-season, nutritiou s, loca ll y ava il ab le foods. CIP and PRAPACE w ill co ntinu e to
work w ith partners and donors to make them available as quickly and efficientl y as possible in emergency situations,
while si multaneousl y pursuing a longer-term strategy to expa nd more permanent market opportunit ies.

CIP; in turn, a CIP delegation visited major potatogrowing reg ion s in China. Regular visits by seni or

about 17 million ton s of sweetpotatoes a year;
togeth er, th ey account for almost 40 percent
of China's produ ction. In Sichuan, post-harvest

priority. Si nce 19 78, tow nship enterpri ses have
invested in food process in g. In th e mea ntime,
dietary preferences in a more urbani zed China
have shifted. Direct consumption of fresh roots, for
exa mpl e, has dropped. Nonetheless, sweetpotato
output has held steady, bol stered by dema nd from

Potato
The average annual growth rate in potato production in China over the last decade has been hi gher than any of the
other major food crops (F ig. 1). In fact, th e growth rate in potato production in China for the last 35 years has been
an extraordin ary 3.9 percent. So mu ch so that the ga p betwee n FAO projections and actual output has become
increasingly appa rent in the last decade (F ig. 2). Th e grow th rate in area planted has also exceeded that of the
other principal co mmoditi es for the last 10 years, proving more important than yields in susta inin g the expansion
in potato output. Ev idence from China and other parts of Asi a points to two critical rea so ns for this remarkable
expansion in potato o utput.
First, as incomes have improved and urbani zation has accelerated with economic growth in China, consumers
have sought to diversify their food intake beyond a strictl y cereal-based diet. Chinese, as w ith co nsumers almost
eve rywhere, like the taste of potatoes. Thei r neutral fla vo r make s potatoes a facile and comp lementary ingredi ent
in local dish es that rely o n traditional spi ces and other foods for a co lorful appea rance and taste. Moreover, th e
fast-food restaurant boom that started in Ho ng Kong and Tai wa n now has spread throughout Chin a. Once
considered a high -pri ced, luxury dish, french-fri es are fast becomin g a popular item not only in restaurants run by
international chains, but also in Chinese-operated eating establishments and supermarkets.
Second, potato is a profitable crop fo r small fa rm ers. Given the pl ant's versatility, potato ca n thrive in the
temperate and mountain ous growing areas in the northern part of the country, as well as in th e drained paddy
fields and hill y parts more characteristic of semi -tropical , southwestern China. Moreover, w ith the introduction of
improved germplasm, th e grow th rate in yield s has actuall y accelerated as area planted has expa nded in recent
years. This trend suggests that with better technology, in certain parts of th e country potato is being planted instead
of c rops such as ri ce on the more favorable land, as farmers are switching to higher-value crops in an effort to
ca pture greater in co mes .
Sweetpotato
In come growth and urbani za tion have had perhaps an even more interestin g impact on sweetpota to- although thi s
impact has been slowe r to affect growth rates in production and area planted. W ith economi c expa nsion,
co nsumers in China have also increased their demand for mea t and processed products. In the case of
sweetpotato, this shift in consumption mea ns that sweetpotato has been increasingly utili zed as a source of
pigfeed- both roots and vines. During 199 5-97, some 30 to 50 million tons of sweetpotato roots alone served thi s
purpose. So it is no mere coincidence th at:
In effect, small farmers in Sichuan, as in other parts of China, have respo nded to shifts in eatin g hab its by
transforming sweetpotatoes into "meat," capturing th e va lue-added at the household leve l. In doing so, they
essentia ll y use sweerpotato as one component in an overa ll strategy to sustain food security at the fa rm and
nation al level.
A parallel phenomenon has been the growth in sweetpotato processing for both food and no n-food products.
Recent research in both Shandong and Sichuan Provinces points to a booming demand fo r sweetpotato sta rch in
the form of noodles, both for domestic consumpti on and for export. Procedures for extracting s ~arc h from roo s
at the vi ll age level include th e use of by-products in the form of starch-free sweetpotato mash for feed. Thi s
practice suggests a symbiot ic rather than competitive relation between the new uses of sweetpotato.
Given these emerging markets for sweetpotato in its processed form, recent estimates of growth rates in
prod uct io n and area planted for this crop reflect a sharp reversal of ea rlier down w ard trends (Fig. 3). With
furt her improveme nts in potato and sweetpotato productivity, and with processing on line for diffusion in th e
yea rs ahead, China's agrarian transformation undergrou nd is wel l positioned for fu rther expans ion in the
new mill en ium.

Sin ce potato was the first food crop to be ge netical ly transformed, or "engineered," CIP scientists
had a head-start in th e app li cation of biotechnologica l method s. Genet ic engi neering was
introduced t.o CIP in 1985. Soon after, CIP was
among th e first to app ly these tec hniqu es to
sweetpotato. Since then, CIP has sys temat ica ll y

In th e hill s of Nepal, root c rop experts are studyin g
ways for co mmunities to unite to manage bacter ial
wi lt of potato, a devastatin g di sease th at severely
threatens family food security. A major chall enge
has been to get sma ll farmers to coordin ate crop
rotation and qua rantine proced ures to contro l th e
spread of the pathogen .
In north ern Peru , w here late b light often w ipes out
potato crops, dozens of inves ti gators are co ndu ctin g
multi-season studi es of late b li ght res istance in
promising potato va rieti es under a w ide range of

Both th eir findin gs and th eir resea rch methods wi ll
be inco rporated into pilot FFS in six co untri es

In centra l and southern Peru, conserva tion
