EUCORD often focuses on crops that are important for household consumption and for value-added processing. These include cereals such as barley, maize, millet, sorghum, and rice; roots & tubers such as cassava and potatoes; leguminous crops such as cowpea, groundnuts and soybean; oil crops such as sunflower and canola; and lastly, high-value crops including fruits and vegetables.
