CIMMYT has periodically announced CIMMYT Maize Lines (CMLs). CMLs are carefully selected inbred lines with good general combining ability and a significant number of value-adding traits such as drought tolerance, N use efficiency, acid soil tolerance, resistance to diseases, insects and parasitic weeds. In many instances, they are parental lines of hybrids which have proven successful in one or several maize mega-environments. For each line, there is information about pedigree, heterotic group, disease resistance, agronomic characteristics, adaptation group, and other attributes in the reference CML information catalog file. These CML lines are available at the CIMMYT Maize Germplasm Bank: http://www.cimmyt.org/seed-request/#maize. For more information, please contact: CIMMYT-DMU@cgiar.org

This report presents the synthesis of household level surveys in five intervention countries (Angola, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, and Zimbabwe) of the Drought Tolerant Maize for Africa (DTMA) project designed and implemented by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), International Institute for Tropical Agriculture (IITA) and national research and extension institutions in 13 countries of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In each of the study countries, two districts were randomly selected provided that the districts fall in predetermined categories (20-40%) of probability of failed season (PFS). A total sample of 1108 households was randomly drawn with sample sizes varying country to country. The report has different sections that focus, in order, on description of the sample households, extent and determinants of poverty and inequality among the sample population, characteristics of maize production, perception and management of drought risk, and determinants of likelihood and intensity of adoption of improved maize varieties.

Agriculture in eastern Africa is predominantly rainfed and maize is a major food crop, primarily produced for home consumption and the market by small-scale family farms. The study characterized farm households in the drought prone maize growing areas of eastern Africa synthesizing data from parallel household surveys in Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. The study provides a comparative analysis of the farm households’ assets, livelihood strategies and crop management practices, with an emphasis on maize and maize seed. This illustrates how farmers in a similar agro-ecological environment but with different socio-economic and institutional settings have variously adapted to living with drought and how the inherent weather risk co-determines the livelihood portfolio, agricultural intensification incentives and system development pathways. The study thereby illustrates the challenges for agricultural intensification in such drought prone environments and the scope for drought tolerant maize varieties and explores the research and development implications.

The development of relatively sophisticated actors along the agricultural value chains is an important precursor for agricultural development. In staple crop value chains for example, innovations around warehouse receipting and collateralization can enable farmers to successfully engage in temporal and spatial arbitrage, thereby opening opportunities to improve producer prices and expanding market horizons and creating greater market opportunities for rural households. This study summarizes the results of a market survey conducted in Eastern and Western Kenya as well as the major maize and legume markets in Ethiopia to identify key indicators of modernizing maize and legume markets in those countries. Using data from a market survey of 275 and 106 maize and /or legume traders in Ethiopia and Kenya respectively, evidence of modernization was summarized in terms of the following parameters. The existence of impersonal exchange, contract-based transactions, price information systems, standardization and quality differentiation. The survey finds that most maize and legume markets do not rely on contractual arrangements, formal price systems, do not have credit facilities to farmers and have no universal quality standardization. Two main gaps were identified. The need for formal price information systems based on widely accepted quality definitions and the need to develop the infrastructure for auxiliary services such as credit, forward sales, transportation and grading among others. On future research, empirical analyses should focus on determining the key financial, efficiency and development gains in such measures as standardized grades and quality, contracting and vertically integration.

One new and improved maize hybrid, developed by the CIMMYT Global Maize Program, is available for uptake by public and private sector partners, especially those interested in marketing or disseminating hybrid maize seed for rainfed cultivation across the lowland tropics of South Asia and similar agro-ecologies in other regions. Following a rigorous trialing and a stage-gate advancement process culminating in the 2025 Stage 5 trials, CIMMYT advanced one new elite maize hybrid in Asia in 2026. Phenotypic data collected in Stage 4 and Stage 5 trials for the selected hybrids as well as information about the trial sites are provided in this dataset. These trials were conducted through a network of partners, including NARES and private seed companies, in Asia, under various management and environmental conditions.
