ETIING THE OURSE

The year 2000 presented a series of opportunities challenges and successes

that

helped Cl P ncrease

our

strengths, sharpen our focus and set a clear course

for

the future . As is appropriate

for

a millennial year,

it

was a

time

of renewal,

allowing us to enter 2001, the 30 h anniversary of our foundation knowing

that

we continue to help reduce poverty and increase food security

for

the poorest

people of the world . Today, annual net return from the Center's research

investment is conservatively estimated at

about

US 150 million a year. And

that is only 30-40 percent of the impact CIP research will have as

the

full

benefits from our

breeding

efforts

begin to

be

felt around the

globe.

Thirty years ago

the

International Potato Center was founded on the

principle of hands-on cooperation. Since that time we have worked shoulder

to-shoulder

with

our partners and stakeholders in fields, laboratories and

advanced research institutions throughout the world. Today we can attest

to

the

effectiveness of

that principal

of partnership. Shared goals,

work

and

resources are producing substantive benefits for people in developing na

tions

as

the

Stories from the field in

this

Annual Report so

eloquently

relate.

Thanks to dramatic growth in

potato

production in developing countries,

poor farmers have been able to increase their incomes, and thereby improve

their

families' livelihoods and diversify

their

diets. Our story

from

Kabale,

Uganda, entitled Convincing qu l ty Farmer seed systems catch on (page

18)

illustrates the many areas of research that converge in farmer-based seed

systems to make

better

lives a reali ty. Sweetpotato

is

rapidly gaining recognition

as a valuable

food for

both people and animals and as a source of raw materials



for industry. This root crop s growing

importance

as a key contributor

to

Cl P s

success has been documented in numerous

impact

studies, and its

flexibility

can be seen in several stories in this Annual Report. The Andean roots and tubers

that

we have helped

to

protect from

extinction

are increasingly being recog-

nized as important sources of nutrition and income for poor Andean farmers.

A case in point is arracacha. Cl P s partnership

with

the Consortium for Sustain-

able Development in the Andes (CONDESAN) to develop this crop s potential

is described in Arracacha A lost crop finds its

w y

to the market (page 30).

Cl

P s

highly

relevant research projects make possible these

direct improve-

ments

in the livelihoods of

poor

farm families. In

work

on potato during 2000,

Center

scientists

identified

and

improved new

sources

of

resistance

to

late

blight disease from species related

to

the potato. They bred

more than

30

new

potatoes, all

highly

resistant

to

late

blight

and

distributed them to

a

number

of

developing

countries. National

programs

in

developing

countries

selected at least five new varieties

of potatoes

from CIP s plant breeding

material and released these

to

their farmers.

In sweetpotato

biotechnology

helped

to identify

genes associated

with

desirable traits for yield and use;

genetic engineering generated

plants

resistant

to

viruses and

to

a

terribly damaging

weevil pest; and five

native

varieties of

sweetpotato

were released in Africa

after

farmers, working along -

side

CIP

scientists, helped

to

evaluate

their

performance.

Most important impact studies showed that

the

full benefits

of CIP

tech-

nologies have yet

to

be realized. To date, the impact of CIP research has been



most

visible in the reduction of

production

losses through

improved

seed

systems,

integrated

pest and disease management , and post-harvest hand ling.

But a dramatic growth in

productivity

is beginning

to

be seen in developing

nations around the world thanks to the new varieties resulting from ( P s

research on plant breeding .

Along with these exciting successes, 2000 also presented serious r hal-

Ieng

es

. Early in the year, une xpected

commitment

reductions

from

key sources

forced

CIP management

to take rapid action, reevaluating both programs and

resource allocation .

Although the

Center received extra

support

from

do

ors

as well as

from the

Finance

Committee

of

the

Consultative Group on l r ter-

national Agricultural Research (CGIAR ), it was clear

that

this would not be

sufficient

to

cover the losses

without

also effecting reductions

to

an already

lean budget and, regrettably, staff. After a rigorous review of program prioritie s,

we had

to

let

go

some

15

percent of our

internationally

recru i

ted

colleaJ ues ,

including many who had been with

us

for more than a decade. I

CIP emerged from this processwith a much sharper definition of its agenda

and targets . By reducing the number

of

projects from 17

to

13 , we have Deen

able

to

increase research integration and regroup our

staff into more

efficient

and

effective

research

team s.

Some

fine-tuning

remains

to

be done,

but

we

have achieved a

great

deal and our staff deserve

recognition

for having

willingly

shouldered this immense task on top of an already full

work

load .

In the wider context of

CGIAR

reform, we are putting into place mechanisms

that will help us

to

set our course

for the future

, such as regional consultative



workshops on our major program areas. We have sharpened our focus on

poverty

reduction, and will

devote

greater

effort

and more resources

to pro

grams aimed at directly

benefiting

the very poor. These

include the

Strategic

Initiative

on Urban and Peri-urban

Agriculture

(SIUPA),

the

VITAA (vitamin A

for Africa) project for increased

use

of orange-fleshed sweetpotatoes in Sub

Saharan Africa, and

the

Global

Mountain

Program

GMP). We

have also iden

tified more effective ways of helping national programs and

responding

to

international

calls

for

assistance in disasters.

In

the coming

decades,

the contribution of

roots and

tubers

to satisfying

global food needs will continue to grow. As

the

CGIAR reviews and updates

its

institutional

and

programmatic framework we

have no doubt

that

CIP s

critical role in this

growth

process will be

fully

recognized and endorsed. As

we help to

realize

the

promise

of new technologies

, 30 years in

the field

have

shown us that our experience

with

farmers

and

scientists

worldwide

our

extensive networks, and our emphasis on holistic approaches to farming and

resources systems will

continue

to prove critical in

providing

sustainable

solutions

.

Today

CIP

is preparing to

meet

the challenges ahead in

direct consultation

with our Future Harvest partners and stakeholders at local, national and regional

levels. But

we

are

doing so without

losing

sight of

the

bigge

r picture. The global

implications of many of our effort s - in

germ

plasm conservation, urban agri

culture, natural resources management, and late

blight

,

for

instance -

will

provide essential

underpinning

to

our

local and regional undertakings.

In closing, I would like to recall

that

the year

2000

was also a year of

L

ele-

bration for CIP. The celebration began in late 1999 with the reaffirmation of our

relevance through the sign ing

of

an

agreement granting

the Center

full

legal

status as an international organization. This was followed, in March

200

© by

the

renovation

of our agreement with the government

of our host

country

, eru .

These institutional milestones - commemorated in the

book

The o to

Treasure of the Andes - substantiate the excellent relationship

that

CI

maintained

with

its loyal supporters over

three

decades.

MOR

OR L SS

Using

fermentation

can

help

farmers in Asia and

Af rica - and in just

about any

place where sweet

potato is used

as pig

feed, said Dai Peters,

the IP

scientist who, with Nguyen

Thi Tinh

from

Vietnam's

National

Institute

of

Animal

Husbandry, created

the

formula

and

designed

the trials.

It

allows farmers

to raise health ier, larger

animals in less

time.

The method

is v ry

popular both because

it is easy

to

prepare and

because it

fattens ani-

mals

quickly.

Better

yet, farmers say, it uses

locally available raw

materials and requires

l i t t le capital

invest-

ment

or

equipment.

It

has gone so well that we

tried

feeding the

mix to our

ducks

and

hens, said

Truong

Thi Thoan,

a

neighboring

farmer

who

was

taught

the

formula

by

Hien.

Now

they're

getting fatter too.

Until

now, raising pigs has been something of

a

money

- losing proposition, making large-scale

breeding

an

option open only to wealthy

farmers .

Traditionally, farmers in

most

of

northern

and cen-

tral Vietnam

boil sweetpotato

roots

and

vines

to

make

the

feed they use

to

raise their pigs. Boiling

is essential because it breaks down

trypsin

inhibi-

tors,

which otherwise would prevent the animal

from

assimilating nutrients.

The

problem with

the

boiled

method

is that it

is onerously time consuming.

The farmers, usually

women,

must spend

several hours

every day

chopping the ingre-

dients, gathering fuel

and doing

the

cooking.

In

addition, large

amounts

of

sweetpo

tatoes

need

to be

stored

for

use in

the

of f

season . This presents a

host

of additional

prob

lems,

as

the stored roots

often

come

under attack from

weevils, rats and rot,

and farmers may lose as much

as half their

stored

feed.

Thefermented mix introduced

by

IP

helps farm

ers make

the most

of their

work

and

investment.

Like boiling,

fermentation

breaks down trypsin in-

hibitors. But because

the fermented mix

can be

prepared in one large lot and stored

for

months,

SM LL CHANGE BIG RETURNS

This small change in

the

way

farmers in

northern

and central Vietnam prepare pig feed represents a

large technological and commercial leap forward.

The ramifications, in terms

of

pig-raising potential,

have not been lost on the Pho Yen farmers.

I'm planning

to

take this

to

an industrial level,

said woman farmer Nguyen Thi Ty. It's so much

easier now. Ty's growing pig business

is proof

.

After

participating in one of the CIP trials, she added

two

sows

to

her stock of six. Today Ty has piglets

that

she intends

to

fatten and sell. To feed them she has

mixed

up

one

tonne

of ermented m x a two-and

a-half-day

job

- that should provide her

with

feed

until

the

pigs are grown and ready

for

market. Now

that

her main labor ilnd

time

constraints have been

removed, Ty

sees

almost boundless potential.

Neighbor Truang Due Cai has similar plans. A

agp, Cai had six pigs. Today, he has 11, and

after lot goes to market he plan'li to expand to

10

even 25.

have worked c:lo$ely with

NARO

in the selection

of

seed. One

of

UNSPPA's biggest challenges has been

persuading

ordinary

farmers

to buy their more

ex-

pensive,

improved

seed

rather than

getting

the

cheaper product from local

markets

or simply using

home-saved seed.

We have set

up demonstrations

at different

locations with local home-saved seed versus

the

improved

seed

so

that farmers can come and see

the difference

themselves, says

chairman

Stephen

Tindimubona. The typical multiplier effect for im

proved seed here

is

10:

1

versus 3:1 for

home-saved

seed . At the same time, our own fields act as

demon

stration

fields. When we harvest,

people

come

to

see our yields and when they compare

them

to their

own production they see a big difference.

As

well

as providing

a necessary service

to

other

farmers, UNSPPA members are f inding out that

seed production is a profitable venture.

In

its best

season , the association made a profit of 19.6 million

shillings

(about

US$11,700). Members also are bene-

fiting from their

ability to

market their seed as a

group and from the

fact

that they now can buy

reliable fungicides, insecticides and fertilizers col-

lectively from the

capital city,

rather than depend

on

the

uncertain

quality

of those available locally .

UNSPPA continues to

seek

the entry

of

more

farmers into

the seed-producing

business. The

association is still small and its annual product ion

SIMPLE CH NGES

In Ecuador, the arracacha project is centered i San

Jose de Minas,

about

90 km from

Quito.

In o ivia,

the work is being carried out in San Juan de La iel,

100 km

from La Paz

. In

both

cases, fresh ar rac cha

enjoys a small but established niche in

nearby

u ban

markets.

Farmers are working to identify

and

s lect

desirable varieties,

produce

disease-free pla ting

material,

modernize their

cultivation methods and

reduce post-harvest losses that often appr ach

40

percent

.

Communities

are also establishin

on

farm collections of arracacha - a vital step

to

ard

conserving

the diversity

of native

varieties.

Just by

making

a

few

simple changes in

th

way

they

manage the crop, farmers have been

ab

more efficiently.

Not only

have yields increased dramatically;

the

plants have

also begun

to

The

project

also has sponsored

food

fairs

to

spur

local

culinary interest

in

the

crop. Farmwomen have

presented a variety of dishes to what has been by

all accounts a highly approving

public. Now

tourist

hotels near

site in Bolivia are offering

arracacha specialties on their menus.

In Peru the arracacha project goes one step further .

Financial operat ing reserve 0 2.6

Over the past decade

CIP

has

made efforts

to

maintain a financial

qperating reserve. From a deficit of US 3.0 million in 1991 , the

reserve grew

to

a positive balance of

US 1.5

million in 1998

{Figure 1

.

The EC's decision not to disburse the US 1 .9 million

pledged for 1999 forced CIP to use US 1.3 million of its reserve

to

help finance its activities.

As

a result, the reserve was reduced

to

US 0.2

million by the end

of ,-999.

During 2000 the US 0.8 million received from the CGIAR Finance

Committee and the

1

US 1 .8 million proceeds from the sale of

CIP's aircraft, together with savings achieved during the year

{US 0

.2 million) were allocated

to CIP's

reserve account.

By

the

end

of

2000, therefore, the operating reserve stood at US 3.0

million {equivalent to 46 days of the Center's cash needs).

Nevertheless, the amount receivable by the end of the year {see

Statemento financial position page 43)

is

an

indication that CIP

needs to continue keeping . n place a cautious

cash

control

program. CIP 's management plans to continue strengthening

PROJECT

INTEGRATED

CONTROL

OF LATE BLIGHT

CIP s

highest research priority

is

to

develop, adapt and integrate

technologies for managing late blight

of

potato, the world s

worst

agricultural

crop

disease, caused by

the

oomycete

Phytophthora infestans. CIP scientists use a range

of

methods,

including state-of-the-art biotechnological tools, to produce

breeding

populations

and advanced clones with durable

resistance to the disease. Additional component technologies

are being developed for integrated disease management under

the

conditions encountered

by resource-poor farmers in

developing countries. Geographic information systems are

linked

with crop

and

disease

models

to understand the

complexities

of

the disease s epidemiology across diverse

agroecosystems.

PROJECT

2 INTEGRATED

CONTROL OF

BACTERIAL

WILT

Bacterial

wilt

(BW), caused

by

Ralstonia soldnacearum

is

the

second main potato disease in the world. The key to

overcoming

the constraint

is

. o control the spread of the

disease

by using

only healthy

planting material.

CIP s research

therefore

concentrates on developing tools to detect the presence of

bacteria in soil and tubers. This knowledge is

used to

improve

crop management, seed systems and identification of available

resistant/tolerant material. The project also aims at designing,

validating and promoting integrated strategies for managing

bacterial wilt in different production systems and completing

the selection of potato progenies with tolerance or resistance

to BW, developed in past years. Main components for BW

management

are seed

health, plant resistance, crop rotation,

soil fertility and biological control.

PROJECT 3

CONTROL

OF

POTATO

VIRUSES

Virus

diseases cause

serious

losses

in potato, and

also

disrupt

global efforts to improve potato because national and inter

national regulations control the movement

of

virus-infected

seed and genetic resources. Biotechnology tools are used to

identify resistance genes in related plant species and to clone

and transfer. them to potato; these tools are combined with

traditional methods of breeding

to

develop adapted cultivars

resistant to a range of viruses. Identifying and characterizing the

most important viruses and virus-like agents that affect potato is

an essential step towards developing sensitive, low-cost methods

for

large-scale detection. CIP researchers also study epi

demiological factors

that

affect virus spread, with particular

attention to interaction between viruses and other pathogens

that

may affect plant resistance response, and train national

scientists in virus identification detection .and control

techniques.

Research

and training activities focus on the most

important potato viruses (PLRV and PVY) and on the potato

spindle tuber vlroid (PSTVd). Particular attention

is

given to

practical utilization/adoption of virus-resistant materials already

produced at

CIP

(including genotypes already carrying combined

resistance to

more than one virus, preferably in multiplex

condition).

PROJECT 4 1 NTEGRATED MANAGEMENTOF

POTATO PESTS

Key

pests

of

potato, globally or regionally, are three species

of

potato tuber moth (a threat that

is

rapidly becoming more

serious), several species of Andean potato weevil, the leaf-miner

fly, whiteflies and several flea beetles. Nematodes that reduce

potato

yields and favor the development of bacterial wilt

pathogens

are

potato cyst, rosary and root-knot nematodes. This

project

seeks to

develop

locally adapted integrated pest

management programs for these pests, emphasizing sustainable,

ecologically based and economically sound practices that will

lead to reduced use of chemical pesticides and increased benefits

for farmers. Components include biological, cultural and re

sistance aspects of control.

PROJECT 5

PROPAGATION

OF CLONAL

POTATO

PLANTING

MATERIALS

In many countries, the lack of efficient formal and informal seed

potato systems has limited the diffusion of new and improved

varieties because only limited amounts of healthy clonal planting

material are available. Varietal introduction and diffusion

is

dependent on the informal system, but

it

must be linked with

the formal system and

it

must emphasize high quality planting

material. This project provides research and technical assistance

to selected formal and informal seed systems in various countries

to

help them improve their efficiency and effectiveness.

This is

accomplished through farmer training and establishment

of

pilot

seed

systems. The project also explores innovations in

linkages between formal and informal seed systems, aiming to

speed up varietal introduction and diffusion.

PROJECT 6 SEXUAL

POTATO

PROPAGATION TPS)

True potato seed (TPS) enables a crop to h e grown in areas where

traditional production systems fail, for example, where seed tubers

are scarce or not available. By facilitating the transfer of

TPS

technology

in such

areas of he tropics and subtropics, this project

aims

to

expand potato cultivation and increase its efficiency

(reduce production costs, increase yields), CIP concentrates on ,

improving parents for hybrid TPS production and developing

needed specific traits

such as

late-blight resistance

:eii

rliness and

seed set. CIP s work

is

back-stopped by

local

organizaftons (private

sector, NGOs, NARS) in efforts to commercialize TPS systems and

thus underpin developing small industries.

and donors for decision-making on technology design, resource

allocation, policy. formulation and investment options related

to potato and sweetpotato improvement and utilization. Some

of

the

specific objectives are to:

price and production databases for priority setting; evaluate the

effects of potato price instability on diverse groups in society;

assist in improving domestic potato and sweetpotato marketing

and international potato trade benefiting developing countries;

and participate in generating the most informative commodity

projections

with

specialized institutions.

PROJECT

8

CONTROL OF SWEETPOTATO VIRUSES

Virus diseases greatly reduce sweetpotato yields worldwide,

particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. Control can be achieved by

using healthy planting materials (the

use

of

virus-free planting

materials alone can

triple

yields) and developing resistant

cultivars. Identification of viruses and development

of

sensitive

methods

of

detection are fundamental steps toward this end.

Previous work has shown that a synergy between sweetpotato

feathery mottle virus

(SPFMV)

and sweetpotato chlorotic stunt

virus

(SPCSV) causes

the sweetpotato virus disease

(SPVD)

that

can devastate crops. The project aims to identify the viruses

causing

major

losses in

production develop methods

of

detection, and apply methods of control.

Researchers

seek

to

develop

resistance

to SPVD using

a

range of breeding

approaches, including the most advanced molecular methods.

PROJECT

INTEGRATED

MANAGEMENT

OF

SWEETPOTATOPESTS

The aim of this project is

to

develop

IPM

(integrated pest

management) systems for sweetpotato.

These

systems need

to

be compatible

with

farmers crop management practices,

as

well

as with

prevailing ecological and socioeconomic con

ditions, to ensure effective and sustainable solutions. Therefore,

participatory approaches are applied

to

prioritize research

needs, develop adapted pest and crop management com

ponents and design learning strategies which enhance farmers

ecological

knowledge

and decision-

making and problem

solving skills. IPM training programs are designed, and their

implementation by

governmental

and nongovernmental

organizations facilitated, through the training

of

trainers and

provision of sweetpotato IPM information materials.

PROJECT

13 SUSTAINABILITY OF RICE BASED

CROPPING SYSTEMS FEATURING POTATO

AS

A CASH

CROP

In response to increasing land scarcity in subtropical South and

Southeast Asia, potatoes, with a high production potential per

unit time, are increasingly being planted in intensive sequential

cropping systems , such as rice-potato-rice, and in more intensive

intercrops, such as rice-potato/maize. Typically,

rice is

planted

at the onset of the rainy season, irrigated potato is sown in the

cooler dry season, and irrigated rice or another crop is cultivated

in the hot summer. To realize the potential of the potato crop,

factors that threaten the sustainability of these input-responsive

cropping systems must be identified and addressed.

This

project

diagnoses constraints to increasing and maintaining productivity

in selected

potato

and rice-based cropping systems; and

generates crop and natural resource management information

on how to alleviate the most important of those constraints.

PROJECT 14 SUSTAINABLE LAND USE IN

THE

ANDES

The

Andes comprises a

series

of unique habitats rich in natural

resources. The inhabitants of this region confront massive

poverty, increasing population growth, and rapid degradation

of

the natural resource base. They face the difficult challenge

of

trying to increase agricultural productivity while simultaneously

decreasing stress on the environment. This project aims to

characterize the Andean ecor.egion

for

its potential for

sustainable agriculture, and to provide a scientific, technical

and economic

base

for policy and technology recommendations

to decision-makers in the region. It also seeks to develop

innovative methodologies for ecoregional research through an

effective integration

of

process-based crop growth models,

remote sensing, economic decision models, and geographic

information systems . Through short term training and

collaborative research, the project aims to build an international

community

of

researchers working toward sustainable de

velopment of agriculture in mountain areas .

wild and cultivated potatoes in the world.

Key

objectives

of

this

project include safe,

long term

conservation and charac-

terization of the germplasm, and developing a database

containing all information on the collection and making this

information available to interested parties.

CONSERVATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF

SWEETPOTA

TO

GENETIC RESOURCES

The overall objective of this project

is

to safeguard sweetpotato

genetic resources and

to

facilitate their use for the benefit of

resource-poor sweetpotato producers and users. Specifically, it

seeks to develop cost-efficient and sustainable conservation

methods, to contribute to the understanding of biogeographic

and

genetic patterns

of

diversity, and

to

document

and

disseminate traditional and technica·I knowledge on sweet

potato genetic resources worldwide. Expected impacts include

the enhanced use of germplasm in breeding and varietal testing,

i

mproved

international task and resource sharing for

sweetpotato conservation, and reduced genetic redundancy of

sweetpotato holdings.

PROJECT

17 CONSERVATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF

ANDEAN ROOT AND TUBER CROPS

Assisting national programs in rationalizing strategies for both

ex situ and in situ conservation of Andean root and tuber crops

(ARTC) involves the study and preservation of biodiversity, with

emphasis on four priori ty genera - Oxalis (oca), Ullucus ulluco),

Canna

achira) and

rracacia

arracacha), including wild species

- and on the material of Mirabifis expansa mauka), Pachyrhizus

ahipa ahipa),

Smallanthus sonchifofius

yacon),

Tropaeolum

tuberosum mashua) and Lepidium spp maca). The pr9ject is

systematically assessing the potential of ARTC to promote

wider

use

in the subtropical and tropical highlands, within and

outside the Andean region, through the study of current

marketing and consumption patterns. It aims to identify latent

demands these crops may satisfy in the future, and to produce

healthy planting materials

for

farmers. This project

is

perhaps

the only one in the world wit h a major effort towards developing

virus identification and eradication procedures for these

important, underutilized crops.

FUTURE H RVEST

CIP

is one of 16 food and environmE ntal

research

organizations

known

as

the Future Harvest centers.

The

centers, located around

the

world, conduct research in partnership

with

farmers,

scientists and policy-makers

to

help alleviate poverty and

increase food security while protecting the natural resource

base

. They are funded principally through the

58

countries,

private foundations

and

regional and international organizations

that

make

up the

Consultat ive Group

on

nternational

Ag ricultural Research CGIAR).

In

1998 the centers supported by the CGIAR created Future

Harvest as a charitable and educational organization designed

to advance the debate on how to feed the world's growing

population without destroying the environment, and to c

action for a world with less poverty, a -healthier human

well-nourished children and a better environment. ture

Harvest

reaches

out to media, academics, scholars and sci

in the world's premier peace, environment, health, pop ation

and development research organizations, as well as

to

olicy

makers and civil society,

and

it enlists world-renowned I aders

to speak on its eha f. Future Harvest supports research, pro otes

partnerships and sponsors on-the-ground projects that bring

the results

of

research

efforts to farmers' fields in Africa, As a and

Latin America.
