Programme Vision & Goals

Transforming Rwanda's agriculture through safe, strategic deployment of biotechnology

Successful Field Trials

A standout achievement of the RABP-CMP has been the successful confined field trials of both biotech potato and cassava varieties.

Cassava Breakthrough

In Rubona and other sites, biotech cassava lines showed strong resistance to cassava brown streak disease (CBSD).

Crop Improvement

Develop drought-resistant and nutrient-enhanced crop varieties using advanced biotechnology techniques including genetic modification and marker-assisted breeding.

Capacity Building

Train local farmers, researchers, and extension workers in modern agricultural biotechnology practices and sustainable farming methods.

Food Security

Increase agricultural productivity and food security through the adoption of climate-smart biotechnology solutions.

Research Excellence

Establish state-of-the-art research facilities and promote innovation in agricultural biotechnology across East Africa.
