Producing better seed for Bangladeshi farmers

A gravity separator is used to clean seed as part of the seed production process at the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute's Wheat Research Centre (WRC) in Dinajpur. Improved seed like this helps farmers to achieve better yields, food security and incomes. CIMMYT works in partnership with local institutions like WRC across the world, with scientists working hand-in-hand. In Bangladesh WRC is a key CIMMYT partner, in a collaboration that helps reach farmers with improved varieties, technologies and practices.
