Increasing Wheat Productivity in Asia
Opportunities: Development and DeliveryCapacity Building
Regional mechanism to facilitate learning among farmers, scientists, and policy makers
Collaboration and Partnerships PPPs Regional research networks for trans-boundary disease and pest surveillance Shuttle breeding programs accelerated by international centers new Regional Alliance on Wheat WHEAT CGIAR Research Program BISA: Borlaug Institute for South Asia
Recommendations of the Regional Consultation for the Improvement of Wheat Productivity in Asia

Increasing Wheat Productivity in Asia
WHEAT CRP Target Populations 2.5 billion poor wheat consumers, 1.2 billion “wheat
dependent” poor
Estimated reach: 67% of the total wheat area, 84% of all wheat-dependent poor
– highest priority
Advantages Overarching Strategic Initiatives aimed at increasing
effectiveness and impact Feedback mechanisms between stakeholders Accelerated adoption of WHEAT technologies Emphasis on capacity building across all Strategic Initiatives
