Description Sustained, well-targeted, and effectively used investments in agricultural R&D
improved productivity worldwide and thereby contributed to food security. In this
context, research spillover effects refer to situations in which a technology that is
developed for a specific target region or product is also applicable to other locations
or products that are not targeted during the research process. (Deb/Bantilan 2001)
The focus of this paper is the comparative analysis of spillover effects and the
distribution of benefits across countries in Asia and Africa that arise from research in
groundnut and pigeonpea. Efforts to quantify these effects have shown that the
contribution of spillover effects to the overall impact can be substantial at times. After
illustrating the basis for the transferability measurement, the application of the
concept is outlined and results for the two crops are compared. To maximize impact
from international agricultural research, the thorough understanding of varietal
movement and benefit levels across countries and regions is crucial for future
success.
