Global approaches to cocoa germplasm utilization and conservation: Final report of the CFC/ICCO/IPGRI project on ”Cocoa Germplasm Utilization and Conservation: a Global Approach” (... by Eskes, A.B., Efron, Y., International Cocoa Organization, International Plant Genetic Resources Institute

“…Nearly all producing countries grow cocoa on an extensive basis resulting in low average yields, which - on global average - have only increased little over the past three decades. This contrasts with the often dramatic advances in yields of other tropical or temperate crops and in particular for other raw materials, often used to manufacture snack foods which are competitive with cocoa. …”

Genetic diversity and population structure of early and extra-early maturing maize germplasm adapted to sub-Saharan Africa by Badu-Apraku, Baffour, Garcia-Oliveira, A.L., Petroli, C.D., Hearne, S., Adewale, Samuel A., Gedil, Melaku A

“…Background Assessment and effective utilization of genetic diversity in breeding programs is crucial for sustainable genetic improvement and rapid adaptation to changing breeding objectives. During the past two decades, the commercialization of the early and extra-early maturing cultivars has contributed to rapid expansion of maize into different agro-ecologies of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) where maize has become an important component of the agricultural economy and played a vital role in food and nutritional security. …”
