This indicator focuses on crops with active private pre-breeding and breeding programmes in the country of the reporting Stakeholder.
It is based on information reported in response to questions 9.1 and 9.2 of the Reporting Format for Monitoring the Implementation of the Second Global Plan of Action for PGRFA.
Information from questions 9.1 and 9.2 fulfills indicators 30, 31 and 32 of the Second GPA.
Question 9.1 requests the Stakeholder to provide any public and/or private crop breeding programme which has been active during the reporting period, and the taxon and crop addressed, indicating those programmes oriented to small scale farmers, villages or traditional communities. Optionally, the improvement targets in terms of trait(s) or characteristic(s), agroecological zone(s) and/or farming system(s) the improvement applies to, providing an estimate of the importance of the improvement in terms of food security, and detail germplasm source(s), the type of participatory breeding activities conducted, the number of professional staff involved, output(s) achieved so far and year of achievement can also be indicated.
Examples of ‘traits/characteristics addressed’ include yield, disease resistance, abiotic stress resistance and quality aspects.
Examples of ‘outputs produced’ include improved populations or breeding lines, trait-specific germplasm accessions and improved varieties.
The information is provided according to a table as described below.

Breeding activities oriented to
□ Small scale farmers
□ Villages or communities that use traditional farmers’ varieties/landraces
Trait(s)/characteristic(s) addressed
Agroecological zone(s)/Farming system(s) (the improvement applies to)
Estimated importance of the improvement in terms of food security for the specified agroecological zone/farming system
• Limited • Medium • High
Germplasm source(s)
□ Local genebank
□ National genebank
□ Regional/International network
□ CGIAR genebank
□ Public organization from developed country
□ Public organization from developing country
□ Private sector
Participatory breeding involved farmers in:
□ Setting breeding priorities
□ Selecting from fixed lines or finished varieties (participatory varietal selection)
□ Selecting from segregating populations
□ Making crosses and/or determining parents
Number of professional staff involved
Output produced
Year of output production
Question 9.2 requests the Stakeholder to provide any public and/or private genetic enhancement (including base-broadening) programme which has been active during the reporting period and targeted taxon and crop. Optionally, the type of and rationale for the activities undertaken, details of the starting materials and methods for assessing diversity in them, and type of farmers’ involvement can also be indicated.
If possible all breeding programmes should be reported. Otherwise, it is proposed to focus the answers on the most important breeding programmes and to include a note in the ‘Comment’ box on the page of the indicator associated to this question, explaining that only most relevant examples of breeding programmes were given.
The information is provided according to a table as described below.

Type of activity
□ Genetic enhancement by introgression for specific traits

□ Evidence of narrow genetic base
Other rationale for activity
Assessment of genetic diversity was made through
□ Molecular markers
□ Pedigree studies
□ Other methods
□ No assessment made
Starting materials
□ Local varieties/landraces
□ Improved varieties in use in your country
□ Exotic varieties
□ Wild relatives
Farmers involvement
□ Setting priorities
□ Implementing programme
The indicator is calculated as the sum total of the distinct crop species (extracted from the column taxon) with active private pre-breeding (question 9.2) and breeding (question 9.1) programmes in the country during the reporting period.
Show Data
National Focal Point rating for the country/region selected is displayed.
Crop species, total is the sum total of crop species with active private pre-breeding and breeding programmes in the selected country/region reported by the Stakeholder for the reporting period.
Crop species, annual average is the average per year of crop species with active private pre-breeding and breeding programmes in the selected country/region reported by the Stakeholder for the reporting period.
Visualize Data
A map showing reporting countries is displayed as the total number of crop species with active private pre-breeding and breeding programmes in the selected country/region reported by the Stakeholder for the reporting period. Actual country data are depicted as a pop-up box when the mouse is placed over the country in the map.
A histogram of the total values and annual average values is displayed by CGRFA regions. Actual values are depicted as a pop-up box when the mouse is placed over the histogram bar.
