The African Agricultural Technology Foundation (AATF) is developing additional pod borer resistant (PBR) cowpea and TELA Maize varieties for Nigeria. The newly developed TELA Maize hybrids are undergoing national performance trials, with commercial release in Nigeria potentially planned for 2026. The optimistic market response to TELA Maize after the first set of commercial releases suggests the potential for continued progress in adoption by producers in Nigeria.
