Indonesia eyes Hyderabad's drought-resistant crops for dryland farming

The drought-resistant sorghum and millet germplasm from Hyderabad is ready to improve agriculture in Indonesia's drylands. An esteemed Indonesian delegation, captivated by the semi-arid farming strategies from Hyderabad, plans to work alongside ICRISAT to tap into these crucial seed varieties. This partnership is set to elevate farming productivity in Indonesia's water-limited regions, with plans for new, resilient crop types to be introduced next year after evaluating ICRISAT's diverse germplasm collection.
