January 12, 2007

The Asian Vegetable Research and Development Center (AVRDC) has published Technical Bulletin No. 38 - a postharvest training manual on tomato and chilli for Cambodia, Lao PDR and Vietnam. AVRDC’s training manual is aiming help the three countries to build postharvest research capabilities. The countries are recipients of a Regional Technical Assistance (RETA) on the crops from the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The manual contains topics on postharvest physiology and technology of tomato and chilli, and also statistical procedures for analyzing research data which may be of interest to crop researchers in general.
