• PGRFA available in the Multilateral System: Contracting Parties, non- Contracting Parties, International centers and regional gene banks notified approximately 2.6 million PGRFA holdings as available in the Multilateral System. This represents almost 46 percent of all holdings reported globally. The availability of PGRFA under the Multilateral System has more than doubled from approximately 1.2 million holdings in 2013 to 2.5 million in 2025, demonstrating significant growth over the past decade or so.

• PGRFA available in the MLS through the Global Information System (GLIS): As of 1 August 2025, a total of 2 015 146 PGRFA were available in GLIS through the voluntary assignation of the DOI. Of these, 1 949 282 entries included information on their MLS status. In total, 97 per cent of the materials published in the GLIS display information on their availability or non-availability in the Multilateral System. Of these, 304 367 accessions provide additional information on the origin of their availability in the Multilateral System.

• The Standard Material Transfers Agreement (SMTA) in numbers: The Multilateral System Data Store had recorded 116 763 SMTAs (an increase of 16 percent since the last report) from providers located in 69 countries, distributing material to recipients based in 189 countries. Of those SMTAs, 105 732 were concluded by recipients in Contracting Parties to the International Treaty, while 10 449 SMTAs were completed by recipients located in non-Contracting Parties. The statistical module indicates an average of 17 SMTAs reported per day since January 2007.

• Number of Easy-SMTA users: The number of users of Easy-SMTA has reached 28 661, up from 18 023 in 2023 and the 9 627 users registered at the time of preparation of the 2022 report.
• Percentage of transferred materials by crop: The statistics at crop level show that 43 percent of the germplasm reported belongs to wheat, 15 percent to rice, 11 percent to maize, 6 percent to barley, 5 percent to chickpea and 4 percent to beans. In general terms, we can consider that the trends displayed are very similar to those generated in 2023 and 2022, and are in line with those presented in 2019.
