Mardi works to protect diversity of fruit crops

Mardi works to protect diversity of fruit crops. [Newspaper] (2015)



Abstract

The future scenario appears bleak for our local banana cultivars, which are not only up against foreign competition – in the form of the hardy and unblemished Cavendish – but also against other more profitable and productive crops. The problem is not just confined to bananas. Other fruits like pineapples and mangoes, too, suffer from dwindling varieties.
