It has over 90 researchers in 15 offices in developing countries. CIMMYT works with various organizations on drought-tolerant and rust-resistant wheat varieties, conservation agriculture, vitamin A-enhanced maize, and supporting small and medium seed enterprises. Through these partnerships, CIMMYT varieties are grown on over 64 million hectares of wheat and 20 million hectares of maize, benefiting millions of small-scale farmers.
