From June 12-16, a project and stakeholder workshop will take place in Kisumu (Kenya). We will discuss progress, first results and impact. A visit to on-farm field experiments, Climate Smart villages and fertilizer blending plants are planned. For more information, contact: info@cropnutrientgap.org

The preliminary results of common bean yield potential and yield gaps in Ethiopia and Tanzania Yield gaps are published on the GYGA (Global Yield Gap Atlas).

Common bean is an important crop in Ethiopia and Tanzania but the national average yield is small (respectively 0.9, and 0.8 ton ha-1; source FAO), indicating that large opportunities exists for intensification of common bean production systems. Assessment of yield potential and yield gaps could help to provide insight in opportunities to increase productivity of common bean.
