In a time of economic
uncertainty, the Citrus Growers Association has allowed a significant
increase in research funding for 2009-10 in order to cope with
the increasing threat from phytosanitary pests and diseases.
Proactive research is being conducted on the African Invader
fruit fly in other African countries to minimise disruption
of the export industry when it arrives in South Africa. Recently
a workshop on rind disorders was held in Nelspruit with international
participants and various SA experts. This was made possible
by the Post-Harvest Innovation Programme who also sponsored
subsequent post-harvest presentations around the country.
