Description A group of forward looking scientists, policy makers, and donors concerned about food production problems in the world's developing countries in 1971 founded the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). The potato was included in the list of commodities to be investigated by International Agricultural Research Centers because of its: potential value as a food crop in the tropics and subtropics, and, rapid increases in production responding to the interests of developing country consumers and producers.

Both CIP and the CGIAR system, well into their second decade, are taking a look at themselves. One result is this publication by the International Potato Center (CIP). A comprehensive impact study for all centers of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) system is scheduled for publication in 1985.
