The finalized report was submitted to FAO. National institutes dealing with genetic resources of plants, animals, insects, microorganisms, fish and soil sciences were contacted for providing the updated information as the guidelines provided by CGRFA. All the stakeholders were consulted and briefed about the guidelines and other documents for the preparation of the country reports.
