Thiele, G. Hareau, G. Suarez, V. Chujoy, E. Bonierbale, M. and L. Maldonado 2010

By 2007, breeding programs in 23 surveyed developing countries had released 681 new varieties, 251 of which had their origins in CIP germplasm.
In Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda, the aggregate area under CIP-related varieties increased by more than 230,000 hectares between 1997 and 2007, equivalent to one third of the worldwide increase.
CIP-related varieties are now planted on more than 100,000 hectares in Peru.
In Asia, 10% of the potato-growing area was planted with CIP-related varieties by 2007, up from 3.5% in 1997.
