New CIMMYT maize hybrids available from Latin America breeding program

Written by Rodrigo Ordóñez on August 25, 2021. Posted in News.

The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) is offering a new set of elite, improved maize hybrids to partners for commercialization in the tropical lowlands of Latin America and similar agro-ecological zones. National agricultural research systems (NARS) and seed companies are invited to apply for licenses to commercialize these new hybrids, in order to bring the benefits of the improved seed to farming communities. In some countries, depending on the applicable regulatory framework for commercial maize seed, successful applicants may first need to sponsor the products through the national registration / release process prior to commercialization.

The deadline to submit applications to be considered during the first round of allocations is September 17, 2021. Applications received after that deadline will be considered during the following round of product allocations.
