ABOUT US
About NMRP
Our organization works to find new, practical ways to grow maize that help improve food, feed, and nutrition while creating jobs and better living conditions in Nepal. We conduct both basic and applied research using different fields of expertise to develop maize growing methods suited for various farming areas. We create maize varieties that can handle stress, make the best use of our plant collections, and use affordable methods that save resources. This helps farmers grow more maize and earn better incomes. We also offer training, carry out research on farms, and team up with local, national, international, and private groups to improve maize research and policies.
