Pero la producci\u00f3n del cultivo se ve afectada por enfermedades f\u00fangicas, como la antracnosis, que literalmente vuelve negro un campo, junto con el escarabajo del \u00f1ame, los nematodos, los virus de las plantas, la disminuci\u00f3n de la fertilidad del suelo y el estr\u00e9s causado por el cambio clim\u00e1tico. Las enfermedades poscosecha como la pudrici\u00f3n del tub\u00e9rculo pueden reclamar hasta 40% de un cultivo.<\/p>\n<p>Seg\u00fan la directora general del IITA, la Dra. Nteranya Sanginga, los precios del \u00f1ame han aumentado en los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os debido a la gran demanda del cultivo en \u00c1frica, as\u00ed como en Europa y Estados Unidos.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Los \u00f1ames est\u00e1n profundamente vinculados a las vidas, los medios de vida y las culturas en \u00c1frica occidental y entre los africanos en di\u00e1sporas, pero su destino est\u00e1 en juego, ya que una variedad de plagas y enfermedades han reducido los rendimientos a un mero 14% de cosechas potenciales&quot;, dijo IITA. en una oracion. Los cient\u00edficos del \u00f1ame del IITA y los investigadores nacionales est\u00e1n desarrollando nuevas variedades de \u00f1ame que pueden abordar estos desaf\u00edos.<\/p>\n<p>El proyecto tiene como objetivo garantizar que los agricultores dispongan de \u00f1ames de semillas asequibles y libres de plagas y enfermedades, junto con tecnolog\u00edas de almacenamiento y manipulaci\u00f3n que puedan reducir las p\u00e9rdidas poscosecha. Los criadores de \u00f1ame desarrollar\u00e1n y difundir\u00e1n variedades nuevas, de mayor rendimiento y resistentes a las enfermedades, dice el IITA. Se espera que los socios del sector privado proporcionen semillas certificadas y trabajen en estrecha colaboraci\u00f3n con los esfuerzos para vincular a los peque\u00f1os agricultores con los mercados.<\/p>\n<p>Los cient\u00edficos del IITA y los socios de los Sistemas Nacionales de Investigaci\u00f3n Agr\u00edcola est\u00e1n desarrollando nuevas variedades de \u00f1ame de alto rendimiento, resistentes a enfermedades y plagas. IITA dice que ha desarrollado nuevas variedades que rinden 50% a 100% m\u00e1s que las variedades existentes. Entre estos, 19 se lanzaron oficialmente en Nigeria y a\u00fan no se han multiplicado masivamente para su distribuci\u00f3n a los productores.<\/p>\n<p>Tambi\u00e9n existen oportunidades de exportaci\u00f3n. Nigeria, por ejemplo, export\u00f3 $27,7 millones en \u00f1ame a los EE. UU.
