Optimizing maize variety allocation

Research
This report shares the new tools, collaborations and processes developed in this project to evaluate and plan improvements on maize seed variety distribution systems.

In October 2019, One Acre Fund launched a strategic plan to ensure that we were distributing updated varieties, selected to match site specific environmental requirements and farmers’ preferences. We expected the new tools, collaborations and processes developed in this project would result in an increase in impact per kg of seed distributed, and an increase on hybrid seed adoptions and replacement rates by farmers.
