Today, the National Semi-Arid Resources Research Institute (NaSARRI) marks its 102nd anniversary by hosting the #WorldFoodDay2024 celebrations.

As part of the festivities, NaSARRI is proud to launch three new groundnut varieties: NARO Nut 5R, 4R, and 3R.

These varieties promise improved yields and resilience for farmers in semi-arid regions.
