CIMMYT, a forward-thinking nonprofit organization, is dedicated to addressing future challenges today. With a focus on enhancing the quantity, quality, and reliability of key cereal crops like maize, wheat, triticale, sorghum, and millets, CIMMYT employs cutting-edge agricultural science to improve production systems globally, particularly in regions of the Global South. Through robust partnerships, CIMMYT leads the way as one of the primary centers within the CGIAR network.nIn Bangladesh since the early 1970s, CIMMYT has spearheaded multifaceted initiatives aimed at enhancing varietal improvements, crop management, natural resource conservation, and human resource development. Over nearly four decades, CIMMYT's collaborative efforts with researchers, extension workers, policymakers, and farmers have positioned wheat and maize as significant cereal crops in Bangladesh. This comprehensive approach has not only bolstered agricultural productivity and sustainability but has also strengthened food security and livelihoods, earning commendation from national agricultural authorities.nThe Bangladesh Integrated Pest Management Activity (IPMA) project, a pivotal endeavor, seeks to empower agricultural stakeholders by effectively managing and mitigating current and emerging threats. By fostering more efficient, profitable, and environmentally sound agricultural practices, the IPMA project aims to ensure sustainable agricultural production and bolster productivity across Bangladesh.
