As a result of the offsetting effect of a rise in productivity and decline in harvested area, the world sorghum production (tonnes) has been on a horizontal trend. The combined effect of a decline in area harvested and a rise in yield productivity have resulted in an overall increase in world millet production (tonnes) trend.
During the last three decades, significant numbers of breeding lines, parental stocks, germplasm and cultivars have been released through INTSORMIL/host countries collaboration around the world. Some of the remarkable breeding success stories include the release of the first hybrid sorghum Hageen Dura (HD-1) and Striga …

La producción de semilla artesanal de sorgo es un complemento en la producción y uso de semilla certificada y tiene como objetivo el de atender a los agricultores que por diversas razones no acceden a la semilla certificada, pero son sujetos potenciales de producción y desarrollo del cultivo de sorgo. En términos generales son los agricultores de menos recursos, que representan la mayoría de productores de sorgo en América Central, los que se ven limitados a la utilización de las variedades mejoradas. Debemos de meditar sobre la utilización de las variedades mejoradas de polinización libre y probablemente el poco acceso …
