Bringing the benefits to small holdersBringing the benefits to small holders
• High Value Product, key for improving rural livelihood (business and employment)
• Bulk of production of tropical fruits by small farmers
• Increasing demand in national and international markets.
• Perennial and semi-perennial species
• Perennial species key in controlling erosion and preserving watersheds
Why Tropical Fruits?
MISSION
•“To enhance competitiviness of smallholder producers of tropical fruits by providing information and tecnologies that lead to better production practices, facilitate access to markets and and will increase household income”
•Improve Rural Income and Health through profitable and sustainable Fruit Sector Information management and
dissemination
Germplasm utilization
Production systems and practices
Processing
Marketing
Objective
• Large biodiversity: Where to focus?
• Germplasm
•Risks of genetic erosion due to population pressure
•Transfer
most sp fruits not listed
Quarantine matters
Biopiracy
• Conservation at CIAT
•Long term storage of seeds
•Cryo-conservation
•In vitro
Apply to only few species of fruits

• Workshops to conform networks (Agents of Innovation for Rural Agroindustry (GIARs)).
• Complementary baseline studies and establishment of monitoring and evaluation system
• Germplasm evaluation (banks, participatory selection, breeding)
• Molecular characterization of main pathogens of lulo and mora
• Agronomic evaluation of germplasm (Exp. Station)
• Market assessment of elite clones (fresh, industry)
• Development and testing of bio-control agents
• Establish Agents of Innovation for Rural Agroindustry (GIARs)).
• Workshops to collect local and expert knowledge
• Participatory evaluation of germplasm, IPM and IPCM (farmer’s field)
• Product assessment in different markets
• Analysis of Cost-benefit of new technologies and production systems
• Establishment of service providers (inputs and planting material)
• Development of grower to grower knowledge networks
• Widespread implementation of project developed technologies and knowledge by massive communication media
Selection of genetic material
Evaluation and characterization
Regional tests Difussion and training
Development of methods for massive and effective production of low cost planting material
Multi-disciplinary approach
•Commitment of a partner
•Tropical fruit
•Grown/used by thousands of small holders
•Established market (local, regional or international)
•Ongoing work on: Several spp Tree tomato, Lulo Passionfruit, Avocado, Raspberry.
•Indigenous crops•Under Utilized sp (if meet above criteria)
•Platform for scaling up

Characterization of genetic diversity
Plant regeneration and transformation
Mango
Lulo
Regeneration: Bottleneck in many species
Disease management using bio-products
Moko (Ralstonia spp.) controlled using Lixiviate from plantain bunch waste.
Good effect on controlling Black Sigatoke.
Easily produced in rural areas
New World Fruits Database (IPGRI, CIAT, CIRAD)
Information Sharing
Homologue® (2005)
TOOLS
Information systems based on GIS combined Information systems based on GIS combined with data collection, expert and local with data collection, expert and local knowledgeknowledge
1.Collect data on a crop that grows in several sites
2.Characterize the sites
3.Look for homologous areas with similar conditions
Generic Research
• Objective: Generate rural income
• Market driven: demand and product quality
• Exploits on farm variability to select elite clones
• Overcome biotic and abiotic constraints through genetic solutions and management practices.
• Multidisciplinary approach: Multiple partners (public, private, NARS, CG system, Universities, NGOs)
• Carry out generic research
• Enhance delivery and adoption
• Develop public goods (elite clones, methodologies, tools, information and scientific publications)
