The main purpose of CIMMYT’s germplasm development work is to provide improved, adapted and stress-tolerant varieties with particular benefit to resource-poor farmers.

Institutions (both public and private) may apply for permission to register and subsequently commercialize CIMMYT maize varieties in specific countries within the framework of the applicable laws, rules and regulations of those countries, harmonized regional seed laws, the Multilateral System of the Food and Agriculture Organization’s International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, the Standard Material Transfer Agreement (SMTA), CIMMYT and CGIAR guidelines and policies, and their CIMMYT maize licensing agreement.
