RTB (Roots, Tubers and Bananas) is a partnership collaboration of five research centers, led by the International Potato Center, with decades of experience in these crops on different continents, including four CGIAR research centers (Bioversity International, the International Center for Tropical Agriculture, the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture and the International Potato Center) and the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD).
By working with more than 360 other partners, these five centers mobilize complementary expertise and resources; avoid duplication of efforts; and create synergies to increase the benefits of their research for smallholder farmers, consumers and other stakeholders.
