Grants

The Syngenta Foundation will sponsor research of direct relevance to its wider goal of improving the livelihoods of the resource poor.

SFSA supports research and breeding programmes in locally important crops such as millet, sorghum and tef. The goal is to develop higher yielding varieties with enhanced resistance to pests and diseases. Below are some of our grants that were awarded to carryout research on these important crops.
