| Description: |
The International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) is organizing an Africa-based conference that will focus on banana and plantain research across Africa: lessons learnt and the way forward. Fostering international partnerships is a major objective of the conference, with particular emphasis to establish the role of research in promoting future commercial activities and trade in banana, plantain and ensete. There is an urgent need to target basic and applied research that connects to existing and emerging markets. This unique conference will be the first pan-African meeting to link research to markets in an African context. Key priorities:
§Develop an African strategy for the next decade to exploit banana and plantain research
§Strengthen research partnerships to overcome production bottlenecks
§Harmonize research with production trends, emerging markets and trade networks
This conference is urgently needed as banana and plantain are |
