GLDB/IITA YIIFSWA PROJECT 2016 WORKPLAN AND BUDGET FOR BASIC SEED

YAM PRODUCTION IN SOUTHERN GHANA

DR. ROBERT AGYEIBI ASUBOAH(AG. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR)15TH-18TH FEBRUARY, 2016

GLDB AND IITA YIIFSWA PROJECT• IITA extended partnership to GLDB to join the YIIFSWA

Project in year 2 under component 3 of the project. • An agreement was entered into and signed between

IITA and GLDB on the 5th of February 2013. • In the agreement, GLDB is implementing basic seed

yam production in Ghana as well as managing a revolving fund to facilitate basic seed yam production following the QMP protocol.

• To produce quantities of basic seed yam agreed each season based on breeder seed supplied by CRI and SARI

2016 ACTIVITIES• In 2016 the Board would continue to carry out yam foundation seed

production activities as mandated.

• CRI Yam Breeder and YIIFSWA Country Manager for Ghana promises the supply to GLDB the quantities of Breeder Seed Yam as well as CRI-Produced Tissue culture seed yam micro tubers in 2015 from Biotechnology unit.

• Vine Cuttings would additionally be used to supplement breeder seeds obtained from CRI.

EXPECTED OUTPUT: This will depend on the total quantity of breeder materials from CRI and SARI.

EXPECTED OUTPUT:

• CRI: Breeder. 5,000 tubers of 3 varieties 15,000 setts

• CRI QDS. 13,000 tubers of 7 varieties 26,000 setts

• SARI: 700 tubers of 3 varieties 1,400

Vine cuttings: 5,000

Aeroponic tubers tubers 200

Total 47,600
