Stanley NkaluboNARO, Uganda

Design targetHigher yielding, attractive bean pod with a longer shelf-life for the emerging fresh pod bean market.

Stanley Nkalubo leads Uganda’s national research program on two major legumes : the Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and Soybean (Glycine max). He has over 17 years’ experience as a bean breeder and geneticist, and is based at the National Crops Resources Research Institute (NaCRRI), Namulonge, Wakiso district, Uganda. He has released 16 com-mon bean varieties of which 12 are widely grown in Uganda and in other countries in the East African region. From 2002-2006 he did his PhD training at the University of Kwazulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg Campus, at the Africa Centre for Crop Improvement (ACCI), South Africa.

“Preparing a Product Profile can be a daunting task. You have to listen to so many different people. You also need to analyze what they’re saying and turn it into a description that enables you to ‘see’ the new variety. This requires a lot of patience. But Product Profile development is a must – and a game-changer.”

Teshale MamoAlliance of Bioversity-CIAT, Tanzania

Design targetEarlier maturing, attractive dry yellow beans for the growing market in Tanzania and Eastern Africa re-gion.

Teshale Mamo is a senior bean breeder working at the Alliance of Bioversity-CIAT in Arusha, Tanzania. He is also the East and Central Africa Bean Research Coordinator for PABRA and has more than 12 years’ experience in breeding and genetics of both com-mon bean and soybean. Previously, he worked at the Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research (EIAR), as the national bean research coordinator and as a bean breeder. He has released Ethiopian bean varieties for drought tolerance and disease and insect resistance. He also has international bean breeding experience from the USA at USDA-ARS, Iowa State University, and received his PhD in 2014 from South Dakota State University.

Step 2

Step 3 Step 1

“We breeders can make a big difference to everybody who grows, sells, processes, cooks or eats beans. But we can also waste so much effort doing science that just sticks on the shelf. To avoid that, we must first ask farmers, buyers and communities what they really want. Demand-led breeding gives us a new starting point: the right questions to the right people.“
