| High-yielding Artemisia varieties from this project will bring a range of benefits, helping to; |
 |
Stabilise artemisinin supplies farmers will be encouraged to grow more Artemisia, which will prevent shortage-driven price hikes. |
 |
Lower production costs increasing the artemisinin content of the plant substantially reduces the costs of both cultivation and extraction. |
 |
Support small farmers in less developed regions by providing them with a more robust and profitable crop. |
 |
Reduce environmental impacts by lowering the requirements for transport and the amount of solvent needed for extraction. |
 |
Support production of high quality ACTs seed for the new varieties will be only be distributed to Artemisia growers supplying high quality ACTs |
 |
Contribute to increased efforts to tackle malaria the first high yielding seeds will be available in time to supply increasing demand for ACTs. |
