Univanich research papers presented to overseas conferences

Univanich Managing Director, Mr John Clendon, was invited to present a paper titled “A Review of 15 years of oil palm irrigation research in Southern Thailand” to the Indian National Conference on Oil Palm held in Andhra Pradesh. Since the Government of India is encouraging the expansion of oil palm cultivation there was much interest in the Univanich research carried-out in low rainfall conditions similar to those in India’s oil palm regions.

At the same conference in India, research consultant, Dr V Rao, presented a paper titled “The Univanich Oil Palm Breeding Programme and Progeny Trial Results from Thailand”.
