Image title	Rashid Said Mpinga, a farmer in Tanzania’s Morogoro District, holds up ears of TAN 250 maize variety, which he grew between March and June 2009. "Without good quality maize seed, you cannot earn enough, you cannot have life!" he says, and he should know. At 79, he has been growing maize for nearly half a century. "Over the years, I've used many maize varieties, and they worked very well when we had more reliable rainfall. These days, most of these varieties are no longer suitable." Mpinga refers particularly to the previous two maize seasons, characterized by high temperatures and irregular rainfall. TAN 250 is one of two improved, drought tolerant varieties recently developed and registered for sale in Tanzania, through CIMMYT's Drought Tolerant Maize for Africa (DTMA) project. They represent years of fruitful collaboration between CIMMYT and Tanzanian seed company Tanseed International. TAN 250 and TAN 254 are based on ZM401 and ZM 721, varieties selected for tolerance to drought and low soil fertility conditions by CIMMYT at Chiredzi, Zimbabwe, and also contain material from CIMMYT-Mexico and from Tanzania. For more about the collaboration between Tanseed and CIMMYT, see CIMMYT's June 2009 e-news story "No maize,no life!" available online at: http://www.cimmyt.org/en/about-us/media-resources/newsletter/previous-issues/38-2009/119-genetic-resources-program.
