"The potential economic impact of Guinea-race sorghum hybrids in\r\nMali: A comparison of research and development paradigms"^^ . "Rural Malians depend on sorghum as a staple food. Despite long-term investment in sorghum\r\nimprovement, achieving major gains in sorghum yields has posed challenges. We assessed the\r\npotential economic impact of the first Guinea-race sorghum hybrids developed and diffused using\r\nparticipatory plant breeding with decentralised, farmer-based seed systems. We compared this\r\napproach to formal plant breeding with a centralised, state-managed seed system – the sole approach\r\npursued in Mali prior to 2000. To incorporate risk, we augmented the economic surplus model by\r\napplying Monte Carlo sampling to simulate distributions of model parameters. A census of sorghum\r\nvarieties in 58 villages of the Sudanese Savanna served as the adoption baseline. Our findings\r\nindicate that research on sorghum hybrids with the new approach is a sound investment. Public and\r\nprivate actors need to continue investing in innovative ways to expand the sorghum seed system. The\r\nsensitivity of results to the price elasticity of supply suggests commercialisation opportunities."^^ . "2017-03" . . "12" . "1" . .
