The development of “Super Sorghum” falls under the “African Biofortified Sorghum” (ABS) project, which received a US $16.9 million grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The ABS Project’s goal is to develop improved food quality sorghum by enriching it for essential amino acids, and later, by increasing its content of vitamins A and E.” The ABS project is being developed for commercial release and the Council for Scientific Industrial Research will soon seek permission for field trials.
