Chaudhuri a f\u00e9licit\u00e9 le DG Ehui pour sa prise de fonction en tant que directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de l'IITA et directeur continental du CGIAR pour l'Afrique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il a soulign\u00e9 une pr\u00e9occupation majeure concernant la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 de veiller \u00e0 ce que les innovations parviennent aux agriculteurs de tout le continent. Il s'est r\u00e9joui de la mise \u00e0 l'\u00e9chelle des innovations par la recherche et la technologie afin de garantir qu'elles atteignent les petits exploitants agricoles et am\u00e9liorent leurs moyens de subsistance, en particulier pour les petits exploitants en Afrique subsaharienne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suite au point de discussion, il a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que les partenariats avec le secteur priv\u00e9 constituent le principal moyen de d\u00e9ployer les innovations \u00e0 grande \u00e9chelle. De plus, IITA Plateforme d'incubation d'entreprises<\/a> Directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral (IITA-BIP) Adebowale Akande<\/a> a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que des strat\u00e9gies de soutien devraient \u00eatre fournies pour que le secteur priv\u00e9 s'engage. G\u00e9n\u00e9ticien mol\u00e9culaire \u00e0 l'IITA Rabbin Isma\u00ebl<\/a> a mentionn\u00e9 qu'il devrait y avoir une orientation commerciale des cultures v\u00e9g\u00e9tatives et clonales am\u00e9lior\u00e9es.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selon Chaudhuri, l'intensification de l'innovation cr\u00e9erait des opportunit\u00e9s pour le secteur priv\u00e9 et permettrait de mettre de meilleures vari\u00e9t\u00e9s de cultures \u00e0 la disposition des utilisateurs finaux par le biais des canaux de distribution existants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chaudhuri et l'\u00e9quipe de haute direction de l'IITA ont visit\u00e9 les installations de l'IITA, notamment le Centre des ressources g\u00e9n\u00e9tiques (GRC), la culture hydroponique semi-autotrophe (SAH), le BIP et les unit\u00e9s de transformation et d'utilisation du manioc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c0 IITA-BIP, Akande a soulign\u00e9 les activit\u00e9s de l'unit\u00e9, partageant quelques r\u00e9ussites et entreprises qui ont adopt\u00e9 les technologies gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 des partenariats tels qu'Unilever, Sultry Farms et Flour Mills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En conclusion de sa visite, le directeur pays de la Banque mondiale s'est montr\u00e9 stup\u00e9fait par l'IITA-BIP, qui a contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 diffuser des innovations aupr\u00e8s et par le biais du monde des affaires gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 des d\u00e9monstrations pratiques destin\u00e9es aux organisations priv\u00e9es. Il a ajout\u00e9 que ces technologies sont commercialement viables et ont le potentiel d'augmenter les revenus des agriculteurs en Afrique subsaharienne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
