The collaboration between Turkey and
ICARDA, which has been strong and beneficial to the entire CWANA
region and beyond, will develop further especially in areas of cereals
and food legumes improvement, livestock production, agricultural
products marketing, agrobiodiversity conservation, and capacity
building for scientific agricultural research. The Southeastern
Anatolia project, which is targeted to continue until 2010, will
remain a major part of the Turkey/ICARDA collaboration. Also, collaborative
activities within the framework of the joint Turkey/CIMMYT/ICARDA
Winter Wheat Improvement Program will constitute a key element of
the partnership.
