Foreword
International Potato Center Annual Report 2005
to eight of the Millennium Targets which we have prioritized as our own millennium
development challenges. We do not see this as a polemic on research versus development,
rather a dialectic on research and global science in the service of development. Hence, the
title of this report, Contributing to the Millennium Development Goals.
In 2005 we began work on an ambitious Strategic Plan to implement our Vision by
adopting a new R&D paradigm that we believe will protect and strengthen our core
research while enhancing our development impact. We expect to finish the strategic
planning exercise in 2006 and present evidence of its positive effect on CIPs work in our
next Annual Report.
This 2005 Annual Report presents brief highlights of the impact we have made, as a
result of the first efforts to re-align our program work with the Millennium Development
Targets. I commend this report to you and I hope that you are as excited as I am by the
benefits that CIPs work is bringing to the poorest people of the world.

*PRAPACE is the French acronym for the Regional Network for Improvement of
Potato and Sweetpotato in Eastern and Central Africa (ECA). It is a Partnership
Program of CIP and one of the networks of the Association for Strengthening
Agricultural Research in Eastern and Central Africa.
In a collaboration
between CIP and Toyota-Bio
in the agroindustrial use of
sweetpotato as animal feed,
variety and fertilizer trials
achieved yields that were
300 percent higher than the
average yields achieved
using the cultivation
techniques of local farmers.
The factorys aim is to
process sweetpotato for
feed. Accessing such a
sweetpotato industry
provides a valuable
opportunity for the local
people to improve their
livelihoods by supplying the
factory with raw material.
11
Modern, high-yielding
varieties of sweetpotato
developed by CIP are
producing a 50 percent
increase in yield over
traditional varieties in
Vietnam. Average yield was
over 33 tonnes/ha,
representing a significant
contribution to the
livelihoods of the farmers.
More than 80 percent of
210 farm households that
CIP researchers surveyed in
eight villages in Vietnam had
adopted the varieties.
Sweetpotato is an
important crop in Vietnam,
especially as feed for pigs,
develop in Indonesia,
indicated by the increasing
interest of private industry to
invest in this business.
Sweetpotato farmers of
course will benefit by having
a market for their product.
A 3-year collaboration
involving CIP, the Toyota
Motor Co. and ILETRI,
adapted a Japanese high dry
matter variety called
Shiroyutaka that was
released officially by the
Indonesian government. CIP
is continuing work to breed
for better high dry matter
yield. New crosses using
current varieties or promising
parents and selection of the
best progeny of the crosses
are on going. In 2004 and
2005 trials at three different
sites (Malang, 500 m asl;
Lampung, 10 m asl; Bogor,
200 m asl) identified 53
clones for further yield trials.
Recently developed new
varieties should have higher
yield potential than the
currently available high dry
matter varieties, said CIPs
Asep Setiawan. Now,
sweetpotato farmers have a
new opportunity to sell their
product to the sweetpotato
flour-based industry instead
of just selling their product
in the form of fresh storage
roots. This is clearly an
advantage for the
sweetpotato farmer in the
region.

Increasing potato
production, potato yields
and planted areas are the
targets for CIPs collaboration
with government agencies in
the Democratic Peoples
Republic of Korea. In the last
decade total potato
production in DPR Korea has
more than tripled as a result
of area expansion. The
potato was declared a
priority crop by DPR Koreas
Great Leader Kim Il Sung
and the country is making
efforts to increase
productivity. CIPs work is
aimed at enhancing
breeding, increasing yield
and reducing post-harvest

Ecohealth is a participatory
research intervention project
on health and agriculture.
The aim of the project is to
improve the sustainability of
the agricultural production
systems by reducing health
risks and the promotion of
health benefits. The impact
of pesticides on human
health and potato production
is the main research issue.
Ecohealth also looks for the
relationships among potato
production systems,
biodiversity, agroecology and
malnutrition.
We started implementing
the project in Ecuador in
25
nutritionists, as well as
consumers and farmers. This
ensures that both the
farmers and consumers
accept the new varieties, and
that they grow well.
Over 45 million cuttings
have also been distributed in
the region. In Western
Kenya, about 30 million
cuttings of mainly OFSP
varieties have been
distributed to farmers from
stations of the Kenya
Agricultural Research Institute
and local organizations. In
the Lake Zone of Tanzania,
about 6 million vines of
three popular varieties have
been distributed. In Uganda
the Namulonge Agricultural
and Animal Research Institute
alone has distributed about
10 million cuttings of the
newly released varieties to
farmers. Over 550,000
households in Mozambique
have received at least 200
OFSP vines.
To make these cultivars
available to farmers in
quantities sufficient to have
quick impact, innovative
methods of vine propagation
and distribution are
necessary. CIP has
successfully promoted a
number of new methods4.
Improved multiplication
schemes have focused on
building on farmers
traditional methods, said
CIPs Sam Namanda, who is
based in Kampala. We also
give additional training on
selecting healthy material for
planting.

A novel approach to
collaboration will allow the
partners of a CGIAR Andean
development initiative much
greater representation at the
regional level. Despite
decades of research and
development initiatives,
more than 60 percent of the
rural inhabitants of the
Andes still live in poverty.
Less than half have access to
health services, safe drinking
water and sanitation. One
child in nine fails to reach
his or her first birthday.
Population pressure, soil
erosion and nutrient loss,
drought, frost, flooding,
28
deforestation, salinization,
political violence and market
marginalization are among
the most common
constraints to social and
economic development.
CONDESAN, the
Consortium for the
Sustainable Development of
the Andean Ecoregion, is an
ecoregional programme
operated by CIP that has
been working on the frontier
of research and
development in the rural
Andes since 1992. Building
on many years of successful
collaboration, in 2005,
CONDESAN began preparing
a Road Map that will give
its partners much greater
influence in the operation
and impact of the
Consortium in the region.
CONDESANs partners are
assuming more leadership
and organizing themselves
into Partner Initiatives. The
Road Map establishes a
framework of priority issues
that respond directly to
research questions that are
key to rural development in
the Andes. The Road Map
allows CONDESAN to
advance its work yet
increase the participation
and influence of its partners.
Over 70 organizations,
both national and
international, public and
private, are involved as
partners. Most of
CONDESANs work takes
place in seven benchmark
sites, within the Andean
countries, in watersheds that
are broadly representatives
of major Andean
ecosystems. CONDESANs
effort has always focused on
ways to stimulate and take
advantage of its partners
29
by the Department of
Agriculture. A post-FFS
evaluation revealed high
knowledge recall by farmerparticipants, with each of
them sharing potato IDM
knowledge with an average
of 18 other farmers.
From 2003 to date,
collaborative work has
focused on sustaining and
institutionalizing FFS-potato
IDM. Advocacy and
networking efforts led to
Nepals adoption of a
national policy granting
authority to district offices in
using government funds for
FFS activities, said Campilan.
Various non-governmental
organizations, particularly
CARE Nepal and World
Education, have likewise
integrated the FFS-potato
IDM approach into their own
farmer training programs.
Since then, at least 5000
additional farmers have
participated in potato/
vegetable FFSs. It is this
approach that has led to the
dramatic increase in farmer
income, together with
benefits such as increased
use of healthy seed
maintained on-farm and
better use of chemical
inputs, concluded
Campilan.
High-starch varieties of
sweetpotato will have been
worth over $20 million to
Indonesia by 2015.
Sweetpotato is an essential
food and livelihood crop in
Indonesia, and conserving its
biodiversity is essential in
developing new varieties
with higher yields, increased
disease resistance and
greater productivity. CIPs
collaboration with national
institutions is having a major
impact on conserving the
biodiversity of this valuable
crop, increasing food
supplies and stimulating local
industries.
In 1990, CIPs staff at the
Regional Office for East,
Southeast Asia and the
Pacific began to collect and
evaluate sweetpotato
germplasm. The office
currently maintains over
1000 accessions in
Indonesia. Field genebanks
of landraces are the main
form of ex situ storage but
for long-term conservation,
this essential genetic
material is also conserved as
botanical seed.
Extensive evaluation work
allowed elite local and
introduced varieties to be
selected and utilized as a
basis for breeding and
disseminating improved
varieties.
CIP is playing an
important role in supporting
the distribution of planting
materials for various
purposes to national
institutions in Indonesia.
Since 1992, it has distributed
1631 samples to 29 groups
in the country. Selected
varieties are used in
breeding programs for food
varieties as well as for

Agriculture is an important
source of food and
livelihood support to the
urban poor. Recent research
by CIPs partnership program
Urban Harvest convinced
Kampala City Council to
change its bylaws restricting
agriculture in the cities.
In Kampala, the capital of
Uganda, as in other
developing country cities,
many urban poor and
unemployed people grow
crops and keep livestock as
a means of alleviating
poverty and hunger. About
half the land in Kampala is
farmed, and the majority of
farmers are women.
Food production and
processing form a large part
of the economy of the
urban informal sector and
have known nutritional
benefits. Yet the health
benefits may be undermined
by accompanying health
hazards. To identify the main
risks and benefits in urban
agriculture, Urban Harvest
made a study in Kampala,
Uganda from 2002 to 2005
that included farmers,
policymakers, researchers
and non-governmental
organizations.
Urban farming systems
carry higher risks and higher
benefits than surrounding
rural farms. Urban farmers
have always used the
nutrients found in waste
water and solid wastes.
These present an
opportunity for higher
agricultural productivity since
they contain plant nutrients.
The main health risks are
contamination of crops from
soils, water or air by
industrial and chemical
byproducts, contamination of
37
To strengthen the
contribution of agriculture to
household food security,
income and well-being, Urban
Harvest is working with
farmers, local government and
other research and
development organizations in
the lower zone of the Rimac
river watershed in Peru to
assess positive and negative
impacts of crop and animal
production systems on human
and ecosystem health and
identify appropriate
technology and policy
interventions.
Based on previous
indications of contamination
of the Rimac river, one of
three sources of irrigation
water for Lima agriculture, the
project has undertaken an
evaluation of irrigation water
quality, to determine the
presence of heavy metals,
bacteria and parasites. While
heavy metals were not found
to be a major problem, the
water had high levels of
Escherichia coli bacteria and
parasites, mainly coming from
untreated domestic
wastewater released into the
river. The presence of these
contaminants on vegetables is
a potentially serious health
problem for consumers.
We looked for a simple
low-cost way to improve
water quality, said Urban
Harvest coordinator Gordon
Prain. We constructed a
small, 185 cubic meter water
reservoir to test the feasibility
of using aerobic and
anaerobic treatment
technologies to eliminate
bacteria and parasites.
Water enters the reservoir
and is left to stand for about
10 days, during which time
the bacteria are eliminated
through aerobic chemical
processes and parasites
removed through
sedimentation. Water from
the treatment process and
untreated river water were
compared as irrigation sources
for vegetables. The results
showed that the reservoir
cleared 98 percent of bacteria
and eliminated all parasites

In a single district in
northern Peru, 13 different
groups and organizations are
working on potato-related
issues. In other sites in the
country, even more players
are involved. CIP researchers
are working to understand
these complex systems and
what stakeholders are actually
doing in the potato
production chain, particularly
how they interact among
each other, to identify the
most effective points to
deliver research products.
We need to know what
individuals and organizations
know about potato manage-
45
cultivated, semi-domesticated
and wild potatoes, said
CIPs Stef de Haan, who is
supervising the work. Then
we compared the resulting
scheme of folk taxonomy
with other systems of
ethnobiological and formal
classification. We were
surprised at the results.
Farmers used a total of
22 characteristics for
aboveground parts to
identify specific potato
landraces. However, the
farmers only used about
eight descriptors to positively
identify a specific landrace,
without seeing the tubers,
71 percent of the time. Men
and women scored the
same, but older farmers
identified more samples
correctly.
Informants use a rich
system of nomenclature to
name specific landraces.
Names generally consist of a
noun and a qualifying
adjective. Primary nouns
usually refer to tuber shape
(44 percent) while secondary
qualifying adjectives refer to
tuber color (74 percent). A
rich Quechua vocabulary for
direct and indirect
(metaphorical)
characterization of tuber
morphology (shape/color) is
the basis for naming specific
landraces (Table 1).
The folk taxonomy of
native potatoes in
Huancavelica recognizes at
least five ranks and multiple
taxa. At the generic level
farmers recognize three taxa:
papa tarpuy, araq papa and
atoq papa. Papa tarpuy
(sowing potatoes) are those
managed and grown by
farmers, and consist of at
least five formally
recognized species. Araq
papa is a group of semidomesticated potatoes that
grow in the wild, yet are
collected and eaten. Atoq
papa are wild potato species
that are not consumed.
Cultivated potato cultivargroups are mostly
differentiated by tuber
shape. Specific landraces are
recognized within each
cultivar group.
Indigenous
biosystematics help us to
understand how farmers
themselves perceive and
classify diversity, said Stef
de Haan. A basic
understanding of its
principles is essential for in
situ conservation and related
interventions.

CIP attaches a high priority to maintaining a healthy financial position. Sound financial indicators
reflect the Centers ability to cope with external shocks, ensure that research activities will
continue in cases of unexpected funding shortfalls and provide a sound base to support future
growth. To this end, CIP will strengthen further its financial indicators in the medium run and will
continue to exercise caution in financial planning and budget design.
