This workshop, organized by the World Vegetable Center and Kasetsart University, brought together mungbean crop experts from Southeast Asia and the World Vegetable Center (WorldVeg) for the purpose of exchanging ideas and information about mungbean production in the region. The initiative should lead to the establishment of a collaborative network of mungbean experts to enable the exchange of knowledge and germplasm. More specifically, the objectives of the workshop were to gain a better understanding of: (a) the situation of mungbean production in Southeast Asia; (2) the status of mungbean breeding programs in Southeast Asia; and (3) current constraints and opportunities to mungbean production. The workshop also informed about the current status of the WorldVeg mungbean improvement program and demonstrated a selection of mungbean lines, which should enable mungbean breeders in the region to identify germplasm for use in their improvement programs.
