| dc.description | Triticale was introduced into Kenya in 1967. Since then its production has been promoted to supplement wheat in low potential areas where conditions are marginal for wheat production. Triticale has been regarded as a potential solution to Kenya's rapidly growing dependence on wheat imports; hence, several research advancements have been made and important changes in crops' pricing and marketing policies took place. However, despite these efforts, no reliable data exist on farmers' acceptance and adoption of triticale, nor on its acreage, total supply and use. No surveys have been conducted in order to establish an information base for assessing problems and prospects of triticale production and utilization in the country. Statistics cited for area and production often disagree by a substantial margin. Therefore, this research was initiated to contribute towards filling the information gap in the triticale sub-sector and examining the problems and prospects of its supply and utilization. In addition to updating published statistics and knowledge about triticale, the results of the analysis will have important implications for triticale research and policy-making in Kenya, and help CIMMYT assess the success and future of its triticale research program from a global perspective. | |
