LNR-TSG

ALMAL HET DIE geleentheid gehad om die sowat 48 uitgestalde seleksies ten opsigte van eksterne voorkoms en interne

gehalte te evalueer. Die seleksies het bestaan uit 33 uit die LNR se teelprogram, elf seleksies van Bavaria en vier van

ander produsente.

Sommige van die seleksies wat uitgestaan het en wat belofte vir die mangobedryf toon, is seleksies CH30-G52753,

CH31-M17&18, CH31-P11&12, CH32-E7, C5-O3 en CH31-N7&8.

Produsente en belangstellendes by die mango-kultivardag

evalueer die seleksies.

IN THE COURSE of allocating projects for the Post Harvest

Innovation (PHI) Fund, some of the industries involved

withdrew from the programme, effectively freeing up some

funds for other research projects. The Fresh Produce Export-

ers’ Forum subsequently approached several industry organ-

isations, including Subtrop, to find out whether these funds

could be allocated to potential projects in the pipeline. The

result was additional funding for three research projects; of

which two are co-funded through the PHI programme.

A survey to determine research projects for next year’s re-

search cycle was done at all four SAAGA study groups. Survey

forms are steadily coming in and there are already several

topics that have been identified as priorities. A call for research

proposals has been sent out and forthcoming proposals will be

evaluated by the SAAGA Research Committee.
