  I always hold the believe that we can improve our performance and our ability to feed the continent if we bring the scientist together to collaborate.
  
  I hope the good news coming out of Mali and Nigeria will motivate the stackholders to increase their collaboration to yeild more positive results.

  There is a missing gap between research findings especially in hybrid seed production and dustibution. Most often than not it takes too long for farmers to get these improved varieties, poor communication between researchers and farmers as well as better cultivation methods and periods are very essential if research findings are to be practically beneficial to the farmers and entire general public. SARI/CSRI are in my home district, (Tolon District) anyone interested in farming will surely take a look at their demonstration fields. They are always perfect from start to finish unfortunately it doesn't translate to high yield of farmers in the neighborhood. Farmers continue to used age old seed varieties and methods of cultivation learned from their parents. More needs to be done to make research beneficial to all.
