The International Board for Plant Genetic Resources (IBPGR) is an autonomous international scientific organization under the aegis of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). The IBPGR was established by the CGIAR in 1974. The basic function of the IBPGR is to promote and coordinate an international network of genetic resources centres to further the collection, conservation, documentation, evaluation and use of plant germplasm and thereby contribute to raising the standard of living and welfare of people throughout the world. Financial support for the core programme is provided by the Governments of Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Federal Republic of Germany, India, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the USA as well as the World Bank. FAO of the United Nations provides the Headquarters.

The Asian Vegetable Research and Development Center (AVRDC) is the international agricultural research center (IARC) with a mandate for vegetable crops research and development in the humid and subhumid tropics. Established in 1971, its activities include: germplasm collection and enhancement, varietal improvement, production technology improvement, environmental and nutritional studies, technology transfer, and training for national program personnel.
