Description Highlights of the study
• ICRISAT commissioned a third-party evaluation in 2015 to assess ‘on-farm impact of pearl millet HPRC hybrids’ developed during 2000-2010.
• The study covered 563 pearl millet growers spanning 57 villages and 25 mandals from three states (Rajasthan, Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh) in India.
• HPRC hybrids covered about 60% of pearl millet hybrid area in the three states during 2013-14.
• HPRC hybrids have provided at least 20% higher grain and fodder than the varieties/other hybrids they replaced.
• Total benefits accrued due to HPRC hybrids in the three states added up to US$133.7 million per year.
• Benefits could surpass US$150 million per year at country level if we include the contribution of HPRC hybrids in other states of India.
