Moving forward with feijoas in New Zealand

摘要

There was a good turnout for the Feijoa Growers Conference held in Hamilton on February 13 and 14, with a good blend of practical growing and marketing information. After the annual general meeting a number of research projects were outlined which have the aim of increasing storage life of the fruit, which should boost export success. Research work funded by the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology is to improve storage to cover the four to five week shipping period to overseas markets aswell as the following three to five day shelf life.
