I International Symposium on Tropical Plantation Crops
Plantation crops constitute a large group of crops. The important plantation crops include coconut, arecanut, oil palm, cashew, cocoa, tea, coffee, and rubber. Plantation crops are important crops of South-east and Central Asia, Pacific Islands, Latin America and Africa. They play an important role in view of their export potential as well as domestic requirements and in employment generation and poverty alleviation programs particularly in rural sector. Cultivation of plantation crops in many countries also has rich diversity and varied history with each crop having its own distinct historical and economic context of development. The economy associated with the major plantation crops has significant forward and backward linkages to a large number of other sectors. The vertical linkages by way of value addition and post-harvest processing for each crop increase the significance of the plantation crop sector. The International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS) for the first time organising the International Symposium on Plantation Crops at Cairns, Australia from 20-25 November, 2016 for interaction between academia, researchers and extension and industry specialists to deliberate on a number of challenges facing plantation crops sector.

Roland BOURDEIX
Dear Colleagues,
I apologize, but except if I made a mistake or if I forgot something, I think I never give my OK to be member of the International Scientific Committee of the International Symposium on Plantation Crops at Cairns, Australia from 20-25 November, 2016.
At this time, I do not plan to participate this meeting, I think I will prioritize those of APCC and CPCRI.
Some other comments on the previous message about "International Scientific Committee" : COGENT and not COGNET, Prades and not Pardes (including Email adress). And, except if I am wrong, ” knsp...@yahoo.com” is not the email of Lalith?
Kind regards
Roland

Dear Colleagues
As announced previously, we are organizing a meeting “train the trainer” on Coconut Production and Seeds Systems in the Pacific Region from 17th to 20th April 2018 in Nadi, Fiji. As I feel that our coconut google group is a crucial tool for exchanging experiences and idea, may I propose to discuss some of topics simultaneously during the meeting and in this group.
On the 17th of April, I will suggest all meeting participants to register to the Coconut Google Group. They are representatives of 15 Pacific countries, plus French Polynesia and Hawaii, who decided to join us at their own expenses. Copy of this message will be sent to country representatives. Sorry, Hugh, I think I will give you some additional work this week…
The final program of the meeting will be available soon at this URL:
http://replantcoconut.blogspot.fr/2017/12/organization-of-train-trainees-meeting.html
Information on the Coconut Google group can be accessed at this URL, but needs a registration for membership:

Dear colleagues
See the surprising study of the late “walking” “Seven in one” coconut palms from Rarotonga in Cook Islands, and its possible application for improving the newest planting designs.
