Product Line Objectives
2012-14 Phase-I PL 5: Multi-purpose barley production technologies to meet
food, feed and fodder demands in the driest regions of Africa and Asia
(Barley for Asia and Africa)
Objective 1: Establish and document regional and country research gaps
and priorities, and use this information to organize collaborative research
programs with the CRP to benefit barley small farmers in Africa and Asia.
Objective 2: Methodologies combining classical breeding and molecular breeding
tools are currently used to allow faster identification and promotion of germplasm
(better adapted, highly productive and with enhanced quality) that would ensure
steady development of varieties.
Objective 3: Identify, distribute and use germplasm carrying source of resistance
to planned biotic stresses in the breeding programs to be incorporated in already
accepted varieties or in new varieties to come

Product Line Objectives ------contd.
Objective 4: Set, adopt and implement suitable, feasible, adapted and accepted
formal and informal community-based or private seed production and delivery
systems.
Objective 5: Avail opportunities to integrate small farmers into added value
schemes (local, region, and national) and access to prevalent market
opportunities
