International Potato Center Annual Report 2010 3
2010 was a successful year for CIP. The center expanded its research program to continue playing
an important role in improving potato and sweetpotato production systems and the livelihoods of
millions of people around the world.
Early in the year, CIP officially joined the Consortium of International Agricultural Research Centers.
In July, CIP was designated as the lead center of the CGIAR Research Program on Roots, Tubers, and
Bananas. During the year, CIP started to take steps to implement a new research matrix structure and
move ahead with internal initiatives that will strengthen CIPs ability to grow and decentralize further.
CIPs financial indicators reflect that the Center is growing. To support the growth in its research
portfolio, CIP also is adjusting administrative processes to be more streamlined, transparent,
and accountable.
Together, these changes are serving to strengthen CIP and the CGIAR system to further meet the
challenges of food security, poverty, and environmental degradation facing our world

Potato Center Annual Report 2010 5
International
For the past 40 years, advances in food production led to significant progress in the provision
of cheap and abundant food to meet global demand. However, the grain crisis of 2007-2008 and
subsequent food riots that took place in more than 30 countries brought to light the fact that our
world is currently facing a major food crisis for the first time in generations one that remains
largely unrecognized.
The days of cheap and abundant food are behind us. New pressures are combining with traditional
ones to drive demand up and supply down. Food stocks are the lowest they have been since the
1980s. Investments in agricultural research and development have decreased, and demand for food,
including for the use of products such as biofuels, is on the rise.
In the next two decades, the worlds population will grow by more than a hundred million people a
year. Most of this growth will come in the developing countries, where the pressures on earth, water,
and other natural resources are already intense. The supply of arable land is decreasing in the face of
growing urbanization and climate change. As a result, one of the greatest challenges we will face in
the coming decades will be that of ensuring food security for our world.
It is this challenge, and its terrible urgency, that frame and drive CIPs Strategic and Corporate Plan for
the next ten years.
Food security exists when all people at all times are free from hunger. We know that of the top ten
foods upon which the world depends for food security, potato and sweetpotato rank third and
sixth, respectively. In some parts of the world, they are expected to play an increasingly critical
role in the coming decades. For example, China expects to need to increase its food production by
100,000,000 tons in the next 20 years to meet its growing population with fully 50,000,000 tons of
it coming from potatoes alone. Fortunately, potato and sweetpotato offer enormous potential for
improved yields. We have seen that planting virus-and pest-free planting material for sweetpotato
can boost yields by 30 percent or more underscoring the continued importance of developing and
disseminating resistant varieties adapted to current and potential future environmental stresses.
Improving productivity, however, is not enough. The strategies needed to alleviate hunger are
complex and adapted to the distinct issues facing the three different types of developing countries;
urbanized, agricultural-based, and those in transformation from agriculture to urban-based
economies and structures. Ensuring food security requires a systems-based approach, with longterm investments and solutions. For CIP this means recognizing how potato and sweetpotato fit
into multiple systems, such as production systems, marketing systems, and value chains. It also

means expanding their potential value for improving nutrition, gender equity, and livelihoods,
particularly among the poorest and most vulnerable populations.
The grain price crisis of recent years was a true wake up call. In a post-surplus world, we can no
longer take food for granted.
It is with these challenges in mind that CIP has prepared its Strategic and Corporate Plan. The full
plan is quite detailed and complex. However, there are underlying priorities throughout the plan,
which drive its construction and merit highlighting.
First, from the research perspective, the priorities and anticipated outcomes reflected in this plan
are based on a research model. Called the Pro-Poor Research and Development Cycle model, it
includes five stages (targeting, needs/opportunities assessment, research, scaling out, and impact
assessment) organized in a continuous cycle with each step informing the development of the
next one. The model is designed to generate a far more focused research agenda, target needs
and opportunities, adapt to change, and incorporate analyses of impact pathways to better
understand how research outputs are taken up (or not) and how they are (or should be) used to

promote positive results.

The CIP plan also includes a much more intentional focus on issues such as gender and health.
It reflects CIPs continued dedication to the preservation of the worlds remarkably rich heritage
of potato, sweetpotato, and other Andean root crops. The urgency imposed by climate change
drives us to develop varieties that are adapted to its potential effects and methods that support
sustainable crop management systems.
Two other attributes of this plan, which represent important shifts from the past, include new
uses of rigorous international standards by which to measure our outputs and outcomes, along
with a far greater focus on management processes within the organization. CIP is not content to
rest on the laurels of the past. To meet CIPs research agenda and the application of its scientific
findings into systems that increase food security and improve lives, we recognize that CIP must
achieve excellence in everything we do. The world cannot afford for us to accept anything less.
Thank you.

CIPs Strategy and Corporate Plan: 2009-2018 is designed to enhance the impacts of our
research investments and activities. It builds on a formal Vision Exercise that was undertaken with
CIP staff and stakeholders to align CIPs research agenda with the UN Millennium Development
Goals and ensure that it was directed at areas of greatest need and potential. The plan includes an
impact-driven research agenda and improved management processes to support those objectives.
The priority areas and issues for CIPs research agenda were identified using a formal targeting
exercise, which identified the agroecological regions where potato or sweetpotato cultivation are
most widespread among poor people. This information was combined with data on livelihood
indicators in those regions (e.g., per capita income, nutritional status, child mortality rates, and
maternal mortality rates) to not only underscore areas of greatest need but also pinpoint the
distinct combination of issues and opportunities affecting poor producers and communities that
could be most effectively addressed by CIP.
The results have led CIP to focus on five Geographic Programs, which reflect the three principle
potato and two major sweetpotato agroecoregions of the world that offer the greatest
combination of need and potential impact:
Potato in tropical and subtropical highlands. The high rates of isolation, poverty,
and poor nutrition in these areas, along with their vulnerability to increasing pressures
from climate change, have led CIP to focus on strategies to address poverty and improve
nutrition in these regions.
Potato in sub-tropical lowlands of Asia. These areas have high potential for expanding
potato production by promoting early maturing varieties that can grow during fallow periods
between grain crops to boost food diversity, supply, and farmer incomes.
Potato in temperate Asia. Potato is a key food and cash crop in this region, which is experiencing the effects of climate change acutely. The focus of CIP efforts is on boosting yields and
incomes, with development and dissemination of varieties that can resist drought, soil salinity,
and biotic stresses along with methods to improve water and natural resource management.
Sweetpotato in Sub-Saharan Africa. Orange-fleshed sweetpotato offers great untapped
potential to combat widespread vitamin A deficiency and enhance livelihoods, particularly for

women and children in this region. CIP is engaged with many public and private partners in
creative strategies to diversify its use, expand its value, and raise its profile across the region.
Sweetpotato in Asia. Sweetpotato is a multi-purpose crop in Asia, used for food, animal
feed, and processing. Recognizing that Asia is the biggest producer and consumer of
sweetpotato, CIP is focused on expanding its value for poor, small-scale producers through
greater yields, uses, and access.
In addition, the CIP research agenda includes three programs that are not region-specific but
which produce crucial global public good research outputs. CIPs three Global Programs are:
Sustaining genetic resources. As climate change and urbanization place additional
pressure on the land, CIP is redoubling its commitment to the safety and utilization
of the crop collections in its care. Research priorities include support for in-situ community
conservation programs and initiatives that encourage the re-introduction of traditional
varieties, along with ex-situ collection and preservation in the CIP genebank.
Accelerating genetic enhancement. The discovery of new genes and the development of
tools to guide their use are critical steps toward continuing improvements in crop protection,
productivity, and value. CIPs breeding program is dedicated to developing durable resistance
to major pests and diseases, enhancing market and nutritional value, and improving
adaptation to climate change and marginal environments.
Understanding complex systems. Multiple interdisciplinary skills are involved in
engaging the social, health, economic, and cultural dimensions that help research to deliver
concrete results. CIP works with diverse specialists (agro-economists, sociologists,gender
specialists, anthropologists, statisticians, post harvest specialists, and health professionals)
to bring together the expertise, strategies, and tactics which add value to CIPs commodity
research.
In 2010, CIP began to implement the principles of its new corporate and strategic plan with
greater accountability in management practices and a reorientation of the research structure to
support the targeted priorities.
The following chapters provide examples of ways CIP is putting those new priorities into practice.

AND NUTRITION
Potato was first domesticated in the highlands of the

Andes, which is the primary center for the
conservation of potato biodiversity. The highlands of Asia and
Africa also share similar agro-ecologies and critical characteristics.
They represent remote areas, with high rates of poverty and poor nutrition that
also are at high risk because of climate change. Potato pests and diseases are
increasing and moving up the mountains due to warming trends, at the same time
that there is pressure for intensification of production because of food security
needs. Areas of key focus for CIP in these regions include the development of
varieties with higher micronutrient content to improve nutrition, the use of
innovative agricultural management approaches to preserve soil and water
resources, and the implementation of participatory market approaches
to increase incomes and promote sustainable development in poor communities.
Pumping up potatoes for highland

communities iron biofortification
Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional
disorder in the world affecting 50% of pregnant
women and 40% of preschool children in
developing countries, according to the World
Health Organization. Since potatoes are naturally
good sources of iron, CIP is working to add
further nutritional value through breeding, or
biofortification, of potato. It is a very promising
alternative for improving health in poor
communities, where access to meat is limited,
and people cannot afford commercially fortified
foods and vitamin supplements.
CIP ARCHIVES
The bioavailability of iron in potato is also

important, and can be greater than that from
cereals and legumes. Potatoes have high levels of
ascorbic acid, which promotes iron absorption.
They also have low levels of phytic acid,
which inhibits iron absorption. CIP efforts are

focused on identifying and breeding varieties
that are rich in both iron concentration and
bioavailability.
Health consequences of iron deficiency
include impaired physical and cognitive
development, increased risk of morbidity in
children, and reduced work productivity in
adults. In the Peruvian highlands, up to 60% of
preschool children suffer the stunting effects of
malnutrition, with iron deficiency as the main
contributing factor.
Potato is a key food staple in these areas, but
its potential for combating malnutrition is not
well known or exploited. So improving iron
concentrations and bioavailability in potato can
have real impact in these areas, says Gabriela
Burgos, who leads the Quality and Nutrition
Laboratory at CIP.
CIP has screened nearly 900 native and improved
potato varieties for iron concentrations, finding
wide variations and a large genetic diversity that
can be exploited in breeding programs.
We selected a group of potatoes for their
high levels of iron, conducted a whole series of
crosses with them, and studied the progeny,
explains CIP agronomist Walter Amors. From
a baseline iron content of 19mg /kg, weve
achieved levels as high as 40mg /kg after two
selection cycles.
CIP has screened

nearly 900 native
and improved
potato varieties for
iron concentrations.
The future challenge is to combine these

cultivars with CIPs advanced breeding lines that
have disease and pest resistance, high yield, and
high acceptance from farmers.

The Andean potato sector

repositioning for todays opportunities
There are over 4,000 native Andean potatoes
in an astonishing array of shapes and colors.
Traditionally grown by generations of farmers,
they have a higher nutritional value than
the large-scale industrial varieties and are
increasingly sought after by consumers looking
for original, healthy foods that are sustainably
and ethically produced. A range of processed and
fresh products from chips to anti-wrinkle creams
is now available with these consumers in mind.
Its a growing market, says Ordinola. It started
five years ago moving about 100 metric tons of
potato in Peru in 2005. In 2010, the figure was
5,000 tons.
CIPs analysis of
the Andean potato
sector provides data
to understand its
growth and economic
importance.
CIPs Papa Andina initiative recently published

a diagnostic report, bringing together, for the
first time, real data on the potato sector across
three key countries - Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador.
The result is a crucial tool for policy makers,
donors, and planners to understand the market
reality in the heartland of the potato and how it
is positioned in a global context.
Figures show that potato represents an annual
aggregate value of just over $US 1 billion for the
three countries estimated 820,000 producers.
CIP Consultant and Coordinator for Perus
INCOPA project, Miguel Ordinola, explains that
the updated diagnostic has shaped a strategic
vision for this region, exploiting comparative
advantages and improving competitiveness.
The report also focuses attention for scientific

research centers and development institutes
on the continuing need to improve production.
Figures show that crop yields in Bolivia, Peru,
and Ecuador are 5.7 t/ha,12 t/ha, and 9.5 t/ha,
respectively - well below the global average of
16.8 t/ha.
Armed with the numbers they need to give a
solid basis for data-driven policies, people are
already beginning to sit up and take notice.
In Ecuador, a public supported fund of over
US$ 6 million for the potato sector has been
established. In Peru, the report has prompted
promotional policies and the creation of technical
regulations and standards. The diagnostic is a
key advocacy tool for Andean farmers who, are
also the guardians of one of the worlds richest
sources of biodiversity.

Peruvian potatoes star at Mistura
CIPs Miguel Ordinola (INCOPA) and Andr Devaux (Papa Andina) at Mistura, were Ordinola
co-coordinated native potatos star presence.
Over 400 varieties of native potatoes were exhibited for sale at Mistura,
Perus Third International Gastronomic Fair, which in 2010 featured Peruvian
potatoes as a star product. The event drew more than 200,000 visitors with
over 200 Andean potato producers showing their wares. The idea was for
the people visiting Mistura to really encounter native potatoes, says Miguel
Ordinola, Project Coordinator for CIPs Innovation and Competitiveness for
Peruvian Potato (INCOPA) Project.Many people may have heard that Peru has
more than three thousand varieties of potato, but the majority know fewer
than a dozen of them. Here they saw them in living color and experienced
firsthand this enormous and rich biodiversity.
Besides familiarizing Limas consumers with the wide range of native potatoes
available to them, the CIP-INCOPA representation at Mistura was part of
a wider strategy pursuing more ambitious goals for the future. One of our
aims was to bring home to visitors the fact that by positioning these native
potatoes in the world, we are in effect promoting the development of the
country, and helping to generate new revenue for small producers in the high
Andes, explains Ordinola.

The Asian subtropical lowlands are located between

20 and 30 degrees north latitude in India, Pakistan, Nepal,
Bangladesh, Vietnam, Myanmar, and China. Here potatoes are
cultivated in the winter (dry) season. They represent the area with the highest
potential for potato expansion under irrigation. Low average day temperatures
and cool nights from November through February favor the growth and
tuberization of early potato varieties. The goal is to promote early maturing
potatoes that that can be harvested just 70 days after planting and can be
grown during fallow periods between grain crops to boost
systems productivity and farmer profits.

80-day potatoes open window

for diversifying cereal-based
systems in India
India is the worlds third largest producer of

potato, where it plays a critical role in ensuring
food security for this highly populated and
growing nation. Potato is primarily grown by
resource-poor farmers in India, where it is an
important supplemental source of nutrients and
calories for people living on rice-dominated diets.
To further tap the potential of potato in Indias
tropical lowlands, CIP is collaborating with
Indias Central Potato Research Institute (CPRI)
to develop a sustainable and intensive potatoin-cereals system, where potatoes are grown
during the hot, fallow periods between grain
crops. Key to this strategy is the development of
potatoes that can fully mature within 80 days,
so that they fit into rice or other grains systems.

The potatoes also must be adapted to local
conditions, which require varieties that are heat
tolerant and resistant to late blight, a fungus-like
disease that plagues the region and can destroy
an entire crop within weeks.
Four CIP clones are showing promising results
under field test conditions in the state of
Gujurat. The clones offer yields of 44-50t/ha
in 80 days, outperforming the currently used
improved varieties (30-42t/ha) in less time, and
far exceeding the national yield averages of less
than 20t/ha.
The implications of these advances are
significant, as Mohindar Kadian, CIP agronomist
and lead on this project, explains: The
introductions of the heat tolerant and late blight
resistant 80-day varieties will not only enhance
potato in cereal-based systems but also bring
non-traditional potato growing areas under
potato cultivation to improve food security and
livelihood for resource-poor farmers.
But the efforts to promote diversification do not
stop there. CIP and CPRI also are working with
farmers to identify the features and varieties
that can help generate more income. They are
looking at strategies to diversify potato use
and processing in ways that can boost farmers
incomes from their production.
Our goal is to increase potato processing from
its current level of 5% to 20% by 2020, so that
we can improve farmer incomes and address
risks associated with overproduction of potato,
says Kadian.

Cooperation 88 synonymous
with potato and success
CIPs cooperation
88 has become one
of the most widely
grown potatoes in
the world.
26 International Potato Center Annual Report 2010 Potato in sub-tropical lowlands promoting early maturing varieties to diversify cereal-based systems
Born of a common goal shared between CIP

and the Yunnan Normal University in China,
the Cooperation 88 potato has become one of
the most widely grown cultivars in the world,
less than 15 years after its release.
In some areas where it is produced,
Cooperation 88 is so popular in that its name
has become synonymous with the word
for potato, notes CIP Board Chair, Peter
VanderZaag, who served as CIPs coordinator
for Asia when the variety was developed
and introduced.
Having become the preferred potato for fresh
consumption and for the potato chip industry,
it is no wonder that the name is so ubiquitous.
Today, the production area of Cooperation 88
in China is 390,000 ha. In comparison, Russet
Burbank, the highly recognizable leading
potato cultivar in the United States and
Canada occupies just 175,000 ha.
Cooperation 88 was initially developed in
1988 in Yunnan Province, when CIP and
Yunnan Normal University identified the
need to develop a cultivar that had high
eating quality and was resistant to late blight
disease and various potato viruses. The
challenge was to find ways to adapt existing
late blight resistant varieties, which had been
developed for short-day tropical highland
environments, to the longer-day conditions of
this subtropical region.
The MSc thesis of a CIP-supported Vietnamese
graduate student, Dao Huy Chien, provided
the strategy for crossing late blight resistant

CIP clones with CIP germplasm that was
disease resistant but not well adapted to
regional conditions. Following two rounds
of selection and 5 years of trials, the #88
was selected as most promising. It proved
to be earlier maturing and with yields
that outperformed the control cultivar by
5-76%, with high resistance and excellent
tuber quality. It was officially released
in 1996.
Another key benefit of Cooperation 88 is
that it fetches a premium price, because
consumers prefer its appearance and
taste to other varieties. Coupled with its
excellent performance, it is no wonder that
Cooperation 88 has expanded rapidly to
other regions of China (Guizhou, Sichuan,
Guangxi, and Chongquing) and into other
countries, such as Vietnam and Myanmar.
Cooperation 88 has been evaluated
annually since 2002 under local conditions.
It continues to show a high level of durable
resistance to late blight in both the leaves
and tubers.
It also offers excellent resistance to major
potato viruses (PVYo , PVX, and PLRV). You
can observe many fields of Cooperation
88 before finding a single visually infected
virus plant, even when other cultivars are
heavily infected, comments VanderZaag. As
a result, farmers can keep and reuse their
seed for many generations, maintaining the
same high quality and yields.

The temperate regions of Asia include portions of China,

food and cash crop. Parts of these regions are experiencing the
effects of climate change at a more rapid rate than the rest of the world. CIPs
focus in this region is to accelerate the adoption of more productive potato
varieties, resistant to drought, soil salinity, and increased risks of biotic stresses.
Equally important are efforts to extend the benefits of improved water and
seed management techniques. In addition, new investments are being made
to help national programs which vary greatly in capacity and experience to
establish and maintain effective seed supply systems. Priority also is being given
to working with social scientists in an effort to establish policies
that lead to improvements in natural resources management and market chains.
Picking up the pace for potatoes in

Central Asia
Feeling the heat of climate change, CIP is speeding up the breeding process for developing
drought and disease resistant potato varieties in
Central Asia slashing the time it usually takes
by years.
In 2010, the national agricultural research
program in Kyrgyzstan released five new potato
varieties, only 5 years after the clones had been
introduced by CIP, through a partnership with
the Aga Khan Foundation. Normally it takes up to
20 years to develop and release a new variety.
By using the genetics we have built up these
last 40 years at CIP, weve developed potential
varieties with a high probability of desired traits
for local conditions in Central Asia, explains
Merideth Bonierbale, leader of CIPs Germplasm
Enhancement and Crop Improvement Division.
This allowed us to skip the usual 4-6 years of
selection in the fields and labs of Peru, and plant
them directly in the target countries, where they
could be tested and selected according to local
conditions, she adds.
It can take 12-15 years before a new variety
is officially released by a national program. In
Kyrgyzstan, however, the local State Committee
for Variety Testing released the new varieties in
record time, following the required testing for
distinctiveness, uniformity, and stability (DSU)
and for value for cultivation and use (VCU).
Central Asian countries are being hard hit by
climate change. Shrinking glaciers and extreme
weather conditions are threatening food
security in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, which
also serve as the water reservoirs for all of the
countries of Central Asia. Drought, heat, and
high soil salinity are major challenges for this
region, which suffered a collapse of the potato
research and development system following the

disintegration of the Soviet Union in the 1990s.
CIP has been working with the national
programs and local and international NGOs to
rebuild the sector and introduce varieties that
are not only adapted to the local conditions, but
also offer disease resistance and, in some cases,
high iron and zinc content to increase their
nutritional value, too.
This really has been an example of addressing
needs in a new region, explains Carlo Carli, CIPs
Regional Seed Specialist, based in Uzbekistan.
Central Asia presents a challenging environment,
with high temperatures during its long summer
days.
CIPs historic focus in potato breeding has been
in tropical highland environments, where the
summer days are shorter and cooler, says Carli.
CIP has adjusted to this changing need using
breeding locations and partners in the arid south
of Peru and in other regions of the world, where
longer days, high heat, and drought conditions
exist, he adds.
For Central Asia, CIP is using a multi-pronged
approach that offers a combination of short-,
mid-, and long-term strategies for developing
and disseminating promising varieties. It
includes using advanced breeding clones from
CIP populations that have been bred to be
virus resistant in tropical lowland conditions,
with potential or demonstrated adaptation to
long-day conditions. The advanced clones were
used in Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kazakhstan.
CIP also introduced true seed families that are
adapted to long-day conditions and offer virus
resistance in Tajikistan for clonal selection,

which is the group from which the five varieties

ultimately released in Kyrgyzstan originated.
Finally, CIP tested the use and development
of True Potato Seed (TPS) to help promote the
development of an alternative seed production
technology that could provide access to quality
seed at affordable prices for farmers in niche
areas of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.
CIP is speeding up
the process to breed
adapted varieties and
rebuild the potato
sector in central Asia.
Ultimately, the project seeks to lessen farmers

dependence on expensive imported seed,
and improve their incomes with better yields
and the ability to produce and sell their own
potato seed. Other benefits from the use of CIPs
adapted germplasm materials include improved
nutrition from biofortified varieties, greater water
efficiency, and better land use with expanded
cultivation of heat and drought tolerant potatoes
in more marginal areas or during fallow summer
periods between two consecutive wheat crops.

Sweetpotato is the third most important food crop in seven Eastern and
Central African countries, and fourth in importance in six Southern
countries. CIP is working with national partners across Sub-Saharan Africa
to exploit the untapped potential of sweetpotato for improving health and
livelihoods, particularly among poor women and children. Key
objectives include combating Vitamin A deficiency, improving
lives for women as producers and consumers of sweetpotato,
developing sustainable seed systems, breeding weevil-resistant varieties, and
improving the quality and range of available varieties to meet local demands.
There is a major focus on providing the organizational and
management structure to support breeding in Africa for Africa, as
well as proof-of-concept projects to explore market expansion, and
scalable approaches for improving nutrition.

A novel approach
is linking OFSP

services.
34 International Potato Center Annual Report 2010 Sweetpotato in Sub-Saharan Africa enhancing income generation and health
The Sweetpotato Action for Security and

Health in Africa (SASHA) project is testing a novel
proof-of-concept project that links distribution
of orange-eshed sweetpotato (OFSP) planting
material with prenatal care services. The goal
is to reduce malnutrition and improve lives of
mothers and babies in Kenya. The results may be
even more benecial than expected. Not only
is the program encouraging women to plant
and use OFSP, it is also increasing their use of
prenatal health services.
Pregnant women, women who are
breastfeeding, and preschool-aged children
are particularly at risk of vitamin A deciency,
which is widespread in SSA. OFSP is rich in betacarotene, which is converted into vitamin A in
the body. Increased consumption has shown to
be a highly eective food-based approach for
reducing vitamin A deciency.
Known as MamaSasha, the project provides
vouchers that can be exchanged for OFSP
planting material to women who make preand postnatal visits to target health facilities of
Western Province, Kenya. In addition, community
health workers establish and run community
level pregnant womens clubs, with monthly
dialogue sessions on health and nutrition. The
women receive two vouchers per visit each
worth 150 cuttings of two dierent varieties of
OFSP. They exchange the vouchers for planting
material from secondary vine multipliers, who
are specically trained in OFSP multiplication
and production. They also receive advice on
planting and managing their sweetpotatoes.
time visits by pregnant women in their rst

and second trimesters. Asked if the voucher
program had increased her work load, one
nurse at Tamlega Dispensary said:
This program is helping me to reach our
monthly targets. Another added, Yes, there
is an increase in my workload. But if more
pregnant women come in today, it will reduce
our health centers workload tomorrow,
since women will learn how to take care of
themselves and their children, and they will
have better information on healthy practices
and nutrition.
A study conducted in November 2010 indicated
increases in womens awareness and value
of the nutritional benets of OFSP. Another
important nding was the importance of
involving the womens partners. Initially, men
were reluctant to devote land to their wives
sweetpotato production, but became more
supportive and engaged as nutrition messages
became more rmly
engrained in the
community.
The impact on numbers of women seeking

prenatal care was equally impressive. One of the

for Africa catalogue
FOR AFRICA
2010
The catalogue
oers detailed
information
on promising
and successful
varieties to meet
local needs.
CIP brought together researchers from across

six Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries to put
together a new catalogue, which provides
detailed information on the 29 varieties of
orange-eshed sweetpotato (OFSP) currently
proving to be the most popular in the region.
There was a need for documented information
about the successful or promising varieties, says
CIP breeder and researcher in Uganda, Robert
Mwanga. This provides valuable information for
donors, policy and decision makers, nutritionists,
NGOs, training institutes, and breeders in areas
where varieties are needed but not yet tested.
And because of its simple format, its also a
helpful advocacy tool to help demystify the
notion that OFSP are not acceptable in Africa.
An estimated 32% of the SSA population suers
from vitamin A deciency; a condition that can
lead to blindness, disease, and premature death.
The orange-eshed varieties of sweetpotato
contain high levels of -carotene (a precursor

to vitamin A), but local dietary preferences have
previously tended towards the more common
paler-eshed sweetpotato. The -carotene-rich
varieties form the focal point of CIPs regional
sweetpotato breeding program, which promotes
and improves varieties that are resistant
to disease and environmental stresses,
while increasing dry matter to make them
more palatable.
Production and consumption of OFSP has
steadily expanded over the past decade, says
Mwanga. It is a key strategy for alleviating
vitamin A deciency through a food-based
approach, and the catalogue provides a
reference for promoting the continued
expansion of OFSP and mobilizing resources.
Most of the varieties have already been
successfully released in at least one country
and are being grown and eaten by farmers.
Three were used by the Harvest Plus Reaching
End Users project in Uganda to test models
for successfully reaching communities with
biofortied crops. In Uganda and Tanzania vines
from some selected varieties also are being
sold for incomes. Other varieties are important
parents in local African breeding and testing
programs. Information on the current status of
each variety is presented in a table at the end of
the catalogue.
Produced in collaboration with sweetpotato
scientists from the Mikocheni Agricultural
Research Institute (MARI) in Tanzania, National
Crops Resources Research Institute (NaCRRI)
in Uganda, Crops Research Institute in Ghana,
and the Agricultural Research Council
36 International Potato Center Annual Report 2010 Sweetpotato in Sub-Saharan Africa enhancing income generation and health
(ARC-VOPI) in South Africa, the catalogue lays

out comprehensive information for each variety
including photographs, detailed descriptions
(morphological characteristics), and agronomic
attributes such as yield, adaptability, and
resistance to pests and disease. Since taste
and preferences are important when trying
to change dietary patterns, users can see how
each variety performs in terms of its relative
attractions for consumers, nutritional content,
and processing qualities.
We were keen to produce information that

was educative, could reach a wide audience,
and be easily used without scientic jargon,
says Mwanga.
With many African countries needing nancial
support to promote and disseminate OFSP to
their vulnerable communities, the catalogue
is expected to be useful in eorts to lobby
donors and African country governments
for funding.
Copies of the catalogue and information on how to obtain varieties are available from CIPs regional oce
for Sub-Saharan Africa in Nairobi, Kenya (cip-nbo@cgiar.org) or CIPs liaison oce in Uganda (r.mwanga@

Asia accounts for 86 percent of world sweetpotato production,

where it is used for both food and animal feed. China is the biggest
producer of sweetpotato, but it is also a major crop in India, Bangladesh,
Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, and other Pacific Islands. In South Asia,
sweetpotato is an important staple for food security. Building on
research conducted in Sub-Saharan Africa, a parallel effort is
underway to introduce and support acceptance of orange-fleshed
sweetpotato varieties that can help combat vitamin A deficiency and
carry traits for tolerance to drought, salinity, and pests. CIP
is also continuing research efforts to enhance small-scale farmers
incomes and livelihoods through the expanded use of sweetpotato
for processed foods and as an alternative source of animal feed.
S. MAHALAYA
Impacts of sweetpotato for pig feed

in Papua-Indonesia, not just financial
Pigs and sweetpotato are an integral part of
Papuan traditional farming systems, explains
Mahalaya. The pig also plays an increasing
role in income generation as it demands high
prices; a 50-60kg pig can sell for 6-7 million
Rupiah (US$ 600 -700). Sweetpotato and pig are
connected to all the Papuan traditional events,
such as marriages, funerals, and the resolution
of conflicts.
The project, led by CIP and the South Australian
Research and Development Institute (SARDI),
used a participatory approach focused on
animal health to improve livelihoods for the Dani
people in the Baliem valley. It introduced new
drought resistant sweetpotato varieties, new
sweetpotato-based formulas for pig feed, and
improved buildings for raising the animals.
Better pig production

using sweetpotato
feed improved farmers
lives in multiple ways.
Positive project impacts reach beyond

economic gains, especially for poor smallholder
producers. As shown by an evaluation of a CIP
program using sweetpotato to improve pig
production in Papua-Indonesia, they also can
be measured in terms of numerous livelihood
assets. CIP research scientist, Sukendra Mahalaya,
used a Sustainable Livelihood framework to
measure project impacts on human, social,
physical, natural, and economic livelihood assets.
The results showed improvements in social
cohesion, animal husbandry skills, technology,
and planting material quality, in addition to
increases in income and yields.
Papua is Indonesias most remote and least
developed province. Fully 41% of the population
lives below the poverty line. Sweetpotato is the
main staple for people, accounting for 90% of
the daily diet in many areas, and it makes up as
much as 100% of the pig feed.
The project was aimed at helping local people

out of poverty. The Sustainable Livelihood
framework, which helps understand the way
in which livelihoods are constructed and how
and why they change over time, was therefore
a good tool to identify the best way to support
these communities, says Mahalaya. Results from
quantitative and qualitative data collected from
local households demonstrated impact across all
categories in the framework.
For project participants, Mr. and Mrs. Elopere, the
human impact is clear:
This project has helped us improve our family
livelihoods, they note. Now we always have
enough food to eat, and more importantly, we
can send our children to study in universities. We
never dreamed that we would have two Bachelor
degree holders in our house!

Nurseries and taste tests a recipe

for better health and livelihoods
in Orissa, India
CIP is working with public partners, farmers,
and women in Orissa, India to meet the need
for quality sweetpotato planting material
and sustainable ways to increase production,
consumption, and benefits from orange-fleshed
sweetpotato (OFSP). They are undertaking a
two-pronged strategy using community-based
nurseries to develop healthy planting material
along with a participatory assessment of various
recipes for integrating OFSP into traditional tribal
dishes to promote wider consumption. Early
results are reaching tribal farming communities
in five rural districts of the state.
The expanded use and productivity of OFSP
holds great promise in Orissa, which produces
more sweetpotato than any other state in India.
Orissa is one of the poorer states of India, with
high levels of malnutrition. More than half the
population (57%) consumes less than half of
the recommended daily allowance for vitamin
A. OFSP can provide an effective food-based
method for meeting those daily vitamin A needs.
Since 2003, we have been working with our
government partners and farmers in poor, tribal
communities to identify varieties that adapt well
to local conditions and meet preferences for
taste, texture, bulking, vine characteristics, and
other qualities, explains Sreekanth Attaluri, a CIP
agronomist and research coordinator based in
Orissa. The challenge now is to meet production
demand and to increase consumption levels
using these improved OFSP varieties.
In 2010, CIP provided three improved and
adapted varieties of OFSP to nurseries in 10 tribal
villages for development of planting material.
Training also was provided to 55 farmers in

improved nursery management techniques.
The result was the production of higher quality
material in a shorter period of time, which was
distributed to 240 beneficiaries.
Of the three sweetpotato varieties provided, one
was particularly successful at meeting farmer
preferences. It produced longer vines than
the others after 2 months (40-55 cm vs. 25-30
cm), so there was more to be used as planting
material. It produced much higher average
yields than the local white-fleshed variety (17t/
ha vs. 7t/ha). It also surpassed the other varieties
in terms of farmer preferences for taste, texture,
uniform shape, red skin, and high dry matter,
while providing a higher carotene content than
the white-fleshed varieties used traditionally.
To encourage greater consumption and
promote a shift in consumption from the whitefleshed to more orange-fleshed varieties, CIP
and its government partners also conducted
participatory taste tests integrating the
preferred, improved sweetpotato into traditional
indigenous recipes. As Attaluri describes,
We recognize that to improve consumption,
sweetpotatoes need to be usable in different
forms that appeal to adults and children, and
they must be easy to prepare at home.
Twenty-nine women from 20 villages
participated in the taste tests. They evaluated
six different products for appearance,
color, smell, flavor, sweetness, texture, and
overall acceptability. The recipes included
products appealing to adults, children, or
both, and the product ratings also took into

consideration factors such as product cost,

preparation time, availability, and whether or
not it was considered traditionally or culturally
appropriate.
The hope is that the participatory nature
of the process and use of traditional foods
will encourage change and an increased
consumption of the more nutritious
sweetpotato varieties. Informal follow-up by
NGOS working closely with the communities
suggests that the two recipes which received
the highest ratings from participants, a chutney
and a spicy pickle, are being used and even
offered for sale at local markets.

Wild potatoes genes enlisted in the

late blight arms race
Small as a pea, wild

potatoes hold a
promising treasure of
genetic traits.
Wild potatoes are the ancestral relatives of

todays cultivated crop. Though not edible,
these pea-sized tubers hold an unseen wealth of
genetic traits, some of which may help improve
resistance to the crops most devastating
disease late blight. Results of a recent CIP
study have identified a large number of genes
in the wild species Solanum cajamarquense
that may be useful for breeding for late blight
resistance.
Wild potatoes are important because their
full genetic potential is as yet untapped for
agriculture, says Meredith Bonierbale, Head
of CIPs Germplasm Enhancement and Crop
Improvement Division. Many genes conferring
resistance to todays major pests were left
behind in the processes of domestication and
crop improvement.
When CIP scientists inoculated S. cajamarquense
plants with an extremely virulent strain of late
blight, they showed high resistance to the
disease, with only small lesions in few plants.
Based on their study, the scientists were able to
identify a long list of genes that could be useful
for breeding.
But the challenge is that the fungus-like pathogen

Phytopthora infestans that causes late blight
mutates continuously. As CIP plant pathologist
Willmer Perez explains, breeding for resistance is
an ongoing venture: Many cultivated varieties
that previously showed resistance lose it over
time, as the pathogen fights to adopt and survive.
Perez is one of a team of specialists who
systematically look for new and different sources
of resistance to late blight among the collections
of wild germplasm in CIPs genebank, which holds
samples from 143 of the 187 documented wild
potato species. Since 2008, they have worked on
56 species that had not previously been studied.
Right now we have several wild species under
investigation, explains Perez. To date weve only
tested about 40% of all the germplasm that we
have in the genebank collection. That leaves 60%
still untapped. They are in effect a kind of secret
weapon, harboring new resistance to which the
disease has not yet been exposed.
Wild potatoes also offer a rich source of resistance
to other diseases and abiotic stresses, such as
drought and soil salinity. CIP breeders are
working to adapt and routinely apply in vitro
technologies such as embryo rescue to facilitate
the process of crossing wild potatoes with
cultivated varieties.
The potential is vast. But time is of the essence.
The FAO forecasts that with climate change,
the area where wild potatoes grow may be
reduced by as much as 70%. Thus it is imperative
that these genetic gems are preserved and
investigated now. We never know what the next
problem threatening our food supply and security
is going to be. What we do know is that part of the
answer may come in something the size of a pea.

experience to ensure the presence of varieties that meet the changing
needs of small-scale farmers and are adaptable to diverse farming systems. In
addition, it includes a greater focus on meeting the growing consumer demands
for healthier foods, richer in micronutrients, and diversified diets. The Genetic
Enhancement Program provides the global research outputs to help sustain and
build breeding capacity and products in specific agroecologies,
while also providing materials and knowledge of high relevance
to the broader scientific community.

Improved variety Amarilis packs

significant impacts
52 International Potato Center Annual Report 2010 Global Program: Accelerating genetic enhancement
Disease-resistant potato cultivars have made

significant impacts in the Peruvian Andes, with
an estimated net benefit accruing to farmers
through the adoption of one CIP-bred variety,
Amarilis, amounting to almost US$9 million.
also opportunity costs, those associated with

purchasing fungicides, and human health costs
connected with fungicide use. Measuring actual
adoption rates by farmers of resistant cultivars
presents difficulties, too.
Late blight is one of the most devastating diseases

of food crops and is a major concern for potato
growers around the world. The disease can deliver
a double economic blow to farmers, reducing
incomes due to lower yields and increasing costs
for expensive chemical fungicides. When weather
conditions are favorable to the pathogen, the
disease can wipe out a whole potato crop in a
matter of weeks. In Peru alone, annual losses
due to late blight are estimated to equal US$725 million per year, and worldwide, they are
estimated to reach US$10 billion.
To address these challenges, CIP used plot-level

data and econometric analysis gathered from
surveys of 291 farmers with 588 plots located
in the three main potato-producing areas of
the Peruvian Andes: Huanuco, La Libertad, and
Cajamarca. The surveys also gathered data
regarding household characteristics such as
education levels, assets, access to credit, and
income from non-agricultural activities to more
fully understand livelihood and income aspects.
Past studies of Amarilis showed that its resistance

to late blight, excellent culinary attributes, high
yield, and short growing period made it an
excellent option for farmers. However, previous
impact studies of disease-resistant cultivars have
confronted several challenges in estimating
economic benefits to smallholder farmers.
There are difficulties associated with variations
in late blight risk and resistance depending on
weather or locations. Calculating costs is complex
because it includes not only yield losses but
Late blight is apparently becoming ever more

damaging, as warming trends associated with
climate change provide optimal conditions for
the disease. In this context, estimates for longerterm benefits to farmers from Amarilis range
from US$ 3.7-20 million.

The most sustainable means of controlling late

blight is by breeding disease resistant potatoes.
CIP and its partners have been developing and
promoting late blight resistant cultivars for over
two decades. Recent advances, such as DNA
fingerprinting of the pathogen and the genetic
sequencing of the potato, have provided vital
information for breeders, who use a complex
process of recurrent selection to breed varieties
with durable late blight resistance. Amarilis, a
variety with high-level resistance, was bred by
the Center and first released by Perus National
Institute of Agricultural Research (INIA) in 1993.
Results provide empirically-based estimates

suggesting that the adoption of the Amarilis
potato led to a 24% reduction in the amount of
fungicide use per hectare in some regions, and
an average increase on yields of about 9%
per hectare.

Color chart sheds (deep orange-yellow)

light on sweetpotato biofortification
more expensive laboratory testing, says Gabriela
Burgos, manager of the Centers Quality and
Nutrition Laboratory.
Sweetpotato can have a wide range of flesh color
varying from white to cream, yellow, orange, and
dark orange. It is the carotenoid pigments that
give sweetpotatoes their color, and the variation
in color in the darker fleshed varieties correlates
directly to the concentration of beta-carotene in
the root.
The color chart is

a quick and easy
tool to screen for
beta-carotene in
the field.
Recent developments at CIPs Quality and

Nutrition Laboratory have zoomed in on a
simple but effective way to help analyze the
beta-carotene content in sweetpotato. Using
the Royal Horticulture Society (RHS)s color
chart, CIP scientists have been able to provide a
guide for identifying the sweetpotato varieties
most valuable in the quest to reduce vitamin A
deficiency in developing countries through a
food-based approach using sweetpotato.
Beta-carotene is a precursor to vitamin A. A key
focus of CIPs breeding program is to promote
and improve the beta-carotene rich varieties of
sweetpotato, increasing dry matter content to
make them more palatable, while also boosting
pest and environmental stress resistance.
The sweetpotato breeders here at CIP asked
me to come up with something that would give
them a fast, cheap, and effective method of
screening for beta-carotene in the field, prior to
Two years ago, Burgos and her assistants began

the meticulous work of screening some 5,000
sweetpotato samples for their pro-vitamin A
levels. A total of 248 roots were classified by
flesh color using the RHSs color chart and then
chemically analyzed for total carotenoid and
beta-carotene concentrations. Samples were
further defined as having a primary (principal)
color and secondary colors (in the spots or veins
in the flesh).
Using the RHS color chart, which covers
the full range of yellow and orange colors
that sweetpotato can have, we were able to
characterize the flesh color and correlate it to the
beta-carotene concentration, explains Burgos.
The result is a user-friendly guide produced
by the laboratory, containing 30 photo sheets
portraying different root color ranges, each with
the corresponding micronutrient information.
The guide has been sent out to regional breeding
programs and is already proving to be very helpful
for local breeding programs in Mozambique and
Uganda, providing them with a cheap low-tech
tool for initial sweetpotato variety selection.
Copies of the guide are available upon request (contact CIP-QNLAB@cgiar.org).

Virtual catalogue presents best potato

varieties in English, Spanish, and Chinese
CIP has published a Catalogue of Advanced
Clones, available online and on DVD, which
provides up-to-the-minute information on the
potato advanced clones and varieties available
for worldwide distribution. The catalogue
contains detailed information on 220 advanced
clones and 55 improved varieties of potato.
Directed at national research programs,
universities, producers associations, and private
companies, the catalogue is an important
resource for any researcher or institution
interested in obtaining candidate varieties
of potato with biotic resistance (to pest and
disease), high yield, and potential for both fresh
consumption or processing.
The catalogues design resembles that of an
online shopping site. Users can search in two
ways: 1) by variety name or clone number or
2) by selection criteria (morphology, pest and
disease resistance, agronomic characteristics,
etc.). Both options will give the user information
on technical characteristics, worldwide
distribution area, and postharvest performance
features, as well as illustrations of the plant,
tuber, and flowers.
Clicking on the shopping cart icon assigned
to each entry generates an order request for
that clone or variety, which is transferred to
a specialist from the CIPs Acquisition and
Distribution Unit.
The clones in the catalogue contain sources
of resistance to late blight and potato virus
diseases. They are the result of years of research
and selection aimed at creating new varieties in
different agro-ecological environments. Some

have already been tested in specific regions and

conditions, says Stef De Haan, CIP breeder and
coordinator for Red Latin Papa (Ibero-American
Network for Innovation in Potato Breeding and
Dissemination), a key partner in the project.
The catalogue takes full advantage of the latest
technological advances. For the first time, it
is available in Chinese, as well as the more
traditional English and Spanish versions.
The decision to translate into Chinese reflects
the fact that China is the worlds largest producer
of potatoes and that CIP is establishing the
CIP-China Center for Asia and Pacific (CCCAP)
in Beijing. The translation was made possible
thanks to the collaboration of Chinese student
Li Qingquan, from the Heilongjiang Academy of
Agricultural Science, who trained in breeding for
more than a year at CIP.

CIPs scientists and social scientists are linking insights and

associated with ensuring food security and improving lives. They work at different

that CIPs science agenda is driven by and results in pro-poor impacts.
Predicting global warmings

effects on insect pests
Pests cause 30-50% of yield losses in
agricultural crops in developing countries.
With climate change, those rates could
likely increase further, adding to the already
difficult challenges facing food security and
economic development. To better estimate,
and ultimately help mitigate, the impacts of
global warming on pest risk to food crops,
CIP has developed a new model to predict
how rising temperatures will affect insect
populations.
The model is focused on the potato tuber
moth, Phthorimaea operculela, but can be
applied to other insect species as well. Used
with GIS mapping, it can simulate pest risk
scenarios at global or regional levels under
varying temperature scenarios.
The software brings together advances
from multiple modeling approaches and
from Geographic Information Systems
(GIS) mapping technology, highlights CIP
modeling expert Marc Sporleder.
Considerable attention has been given to
the impacts of climate change on insect
abundance and severity in temperate regions,
but little is known about potential impacts
in tropical regions. Moreover, recent studies
suggest that climate change may favor pests
over their natural predators, disrupting
classical biocontrol of insect pests.
The 1997 El Nio effect in Peru provided
a potential preview of risks to come.
Temperatures on the Peruvian coast were

about 5C higher than average, and insect
pest populations flourished. Farmers
responded by applying high doses of
pesticides every 2-3 days.
We need to support national research
programs with innovative tools to better
understand the effects of climate change
on insect pests and prepare farmers
to adapt to future risks through better
training and technology, explains Jrgen
Kroschel, leader of the Agroecology/
Integrated Pest Management group
at CIP that developed a new software
called Insect Life Cycle Modeling (ILCYM)
in collaboration with CIPs Research
Informatics Unit. With this tool we can
facilitate the development of insect
phenology models and mapping of risk
scenarios highlighting places where
training and adaptation efforts can be
most effective, he adds.
The further development of ILCYM
and its application to a wider range
of insects is coordinated by CIP in a
new project. Collaborators include the
International Centre of Insect Physiology
and Ecology, International Institute of
Tropical Agriculture (IITA), University of
Hohenheim, Germany, under the CGIAR
Systemwide Program on Integrated Pest
Management, and partners at national
agricultural research institutes and
universities in Africa.

To fill this gap, Papa Andina and its partners in

Bolivia (PROINPA), Ecuador (INIAP), and Peru
(INCOPA) worked with a gender specialist,
assessed the gender research literature, and
conducted a series of surveys and workshops to
strengthen partners capacities for focusing their
institutional strategies through a gendered lens.
NT
Theres lots of interest now in promoting gender

mainstreaming and the active participation by
women at different decision-making moments,
explains Andre Devaux, who leads CIPs Papa
Andina initiative. But whats really been missing
is a concrete tool for putting such strategies
into practice.
GO
CIPs Papa Andina partnership program and

partners have developed several strategies to
address key aspects of innovation creation:
accessing/creating markets (participatory
market chain approach), enhancing market
chain stakeholder partnerships (stakeholder
platforms), assessing and sharing strategies
for linking farmers to markets or demand for
technologies with supply (horizontal evaluation).
These methodologies have resulted in useful
commercial, technological, and institutional
innovations benefiting small producers. However,
they have lacked a gender strategy.
L.
The benefits of pro-poor innovations have not

reached men and women equally. To address this
challenge, CIP has developed a new tool to more
fully integrate gender and womens participation
in innovation-promoting methodologies.
The result
was a tool comprised
of guidelines with practical recommendations
for mainstreaming gender into the innovation
promoting methodologies.
The tools guidelines are easy to implement.
They do not require a gender specialist in
most cases, nor sophisticated knowledge of
the subject. The main requirements are the
attitude and willingness to apply a gendered
lens to programs, taking into account gender
differences in roles, activities, participation, and
access to benefits. The guidelines also can be
applied to other participatory methodologies
and development strategies. CIPs partners
already have begun to integrate and apply
the guidelines.
Testimonials from beneficiaries, like Chura Rosa
Maquera, from Puno, Peru, give a glimpse of the
view from a gendered lens:
I lost my fear, now I like to participate and
speak at meetings. I feel good because I have
learned a lot; how to negotiate, get a fair price,
and make more money. With my earnings I have
bought land, arranged my house, and can buy
the equipment my children need in school.

Gold standard upheld in CIP

genebank management
Maintaining ISO
certification imposes
rigorous controls,
processes, and
validationalong with
the collaboration
of staff from
the genebank,
distribution,
pathogen testing,
administration, and
research informatics.
CIP raised the quality standard of its genebank

management when it qualified for International
Standard Organization accreditation (ISO 17025)
in 2007. The accreditation is for the acquisition,
maintenance, and distribution of in-vitro potato
and sweetpotato plant material. Its effect is to
give users of the genebank a visible assurance
that any material distributed from CIP is high
quality and free of pests or diseases. Rigorous
processes, validations, and quality controls are
required to meet that goal and maintain the ISO
accreditation annually.
The ISO accreditation really means a great
deal, explains Janny Van Beem, who heads CIPs
Acquisitions and Distribution Unit. It raises the
quality of our service and guarantees that we
are operating at a much higher level than would
be expected for this type of organization its a
standard that you normally only see in industry.
Van Beem notes that working to maintain
this gold standard forces CIP to implement
consistent quality systems and procedures
across all aspects of acquisition, management,
and distribution of in vitro material. These
64 International Potato Center Annual Report 2010 Strategic corporate processes
involve areas such as quarantine, health testing,

conservation, pathogen elimination, and
logistics. It includes participation from staff of
the genebank, pathogen testing, distribution,
administration, and research informatics.
The accreditation requires careful documentation
of the movement of information as well as the
physical movement of plant material across the
entire process. Staff must receive and be able
to document specific training in following the
ISO standards, and there are strict guidelines
regarding policies, protocols, workflow,
procedures, records, and quality control. All of the
documentation, processes, and over 500 sources
of information are linked through a Web-based
system that is both very complete and flexible.
Because it is paperless, it can be easily updated
and assessed remotely.
In order to maintain the ISO accreditation, CIP is
subject to annual surveillance visits by the United
Kingdom Accreditation Service. The audit visits
are intensive, and the whole process of review and
approval takes about a month.
Increasingly, the audit team is demanding that
we not only meet strict standards within CIP,
explains Van Beem, They also are requiring
us to move further upstream in the process,
ensuring that all the material we receive from
outside suppliers, like the medium for the in vitro
plantlets shipped from the US, has been handled
appropriately, in the right containers, at the right
temperatures, and by people with the proper
training, prior to coming through our doors.
The process of review is grueling, concludes
Van Beem, but it pushes us in very positive
ways and brings us to a level of which we can be
extremely proud.

The body of research data generated at CIP is

central to the science and knowledge needed to
achieve its organizational vision and mission. The
data also represent a formidable investment of
time, expertise, and funds. To help improve the
scientific and social return on these investments,
proper management of those data is critical.
Recognizing the need to adopt rigorous
standards in data management, CIP has created
a training for CIP staff and scientists called Data

and quantitative data collection (e.g., survey

design, ethics, field analyses, standardization,
documentation, spatial data collection, etc.) to
issues of storing, organizing, and sharing data
including through Web-based media such as
collaborative knowledge platforms. Questions
regarding how to present data accurately
in standardized reports or through creative
visual representations are addressed. Many
standardized modules are discussed as are issues
of data integrity, security, and replicability.
For the past 15 years or so, scientific teams in

places like the OECD and U.S. National Science
Foundation (NSF) have been defining best
practices and establishing guidelines for data
management, explains Reinhard Simon, one
of the lead Data Gurus and head of CIPs
Research Informatics Unit. This is increasingly
an issue on the agenda for donors, and we
can expect that before too long, one of their
reporting requirements will be to show that we
follow established guidelines and standards in
data management.
Simon highlights the importance of the latter

two issues this way: You hear horror stories of
valuable data that are lost because they were
not backed up properly, especially since we
rely so much on laptop computers, comments
Simon. But equally important is the need to fully
document data collection and analysis, because
if the findings are not replicable, they may be
invalidated and their value lost, even when the
raw data are still available.
With the variety, complexity, and sheer amount

of data created today challenging previous
informal or lax arrangements of use and storage,
the Data Gurus training addresses a wide range
of issues of data management. The 5-day course
progresses through topics concerning qualitative

Financial report
The International Potato Center achieved a US$ 1.2M
surplus in 2010. CIPs reserves, measured as net assets
minus net fixed assets reached US$8.6M, a 17% increase
with respect to 2009.
Financial Reserves (US$ thousands)
while 5 proposals for a value of US$1.6M were rejected.

Unrestricted expenditures increased by 10% from
US$9.8M to US$10.8M. CIPs indirect cost ratio reached
21.4%. In 2010, the Center finished the revision of its cost
structure and cost allocation methods in line with full
costing principles in FG5. The overhead rate increase,
therefore, is explained by the change in methodology. The
2009 figure was also revised to be comparable.

The liquidity indicator, measured as net working capital

plus long term investments divided by the daily average
expenditures excluding depreciation, increased from 104
days in 2009 to 120 days in 2010, due to a good pace in the
collection of funds. The financial stability indicator, calculated
as the unrestricted net assets minus net fixed assets divided
