Proceeding of the fruit crops seminars in Barbados.
1984
Fruit production in Barbados has been of a scattered nature, with backyard production being dominant. The main fruits are: Barbados Cherries, Avocadoes, Mangoes, Citrus, Papaya, Breadfruits, Coconuts and Bananas. More recently, fruit crops research and propagation have taken on a new level of importance, due to the fact government recognizes the potential of fruits in the island as an alternative in the diversification from Sugar Cane. Commercial fruit production, being a relatively new agricultural activity, face a number of organizational and technical problems that are needed to be solved. Among them are: Production Management, Pest and Diseases Control, Marketing System, Processing and Technology Transfer. These seminars and workshops deal with most of these problems and, strategies were discussed for circumventing them.
