description: The workshop on a Research and Networ k Strategy for Sustainable Sorghum and  Pearl Mi l let product ion systems for Lat in America was attended by 28 scientists  f rom four countries in the region — Colombia, Brazil, Venezuela and Honduras —  and f rom ICRISAT and CIAT The workshop reviewed the research wor k carried out  under the project funded by IDB: project milestones, methodology adapted, and  progress made to achieve the milestones; network trials results and status of sorghum  and pearl mi l let research in the region. Further, the workshop ident i f ied bottlenecks  in returning data, formulated the methods of trials or seed dist r ibut ion, ident i f ied  coordinators for each country, and out l ined the research thrusts for further research.  These include: extending the research to other zones (fertile areas and drought -  prone areas) besides acid savanna soils; enhancing research on pearl mi l let to 30%  (sorghum 70%) f rom the present 10%; nutrient uptake efficiency (sorghum); and use  of pearl mi l let as soil organic content enricher. This publication contains the  presentations made at the meeting and a summary of the recommendations. It thus  provides an overview of the current status of the research in the IDB -funded project,  and discusses the problems and prospects for sorghum and pearl mi l let production in  the region.
