A guide to plant breeding programs in 36 different countries, many of which I've never heard of. Who'd have guessed there was so much breeding in Algeria, for example? These are nearly all developing countries, and I think it's encouraging to see these governments devoting scarce resources to these efforts.

Update: To be clear, I've heard of the countries, but not the breeding programs.
