| FRUITS FOR THE FUTURE |
| The following
publications are outputs of the CUC "Fruits for the Future" project.
The purpose of the project was to collate current knowledge,
identify reserach gaps and encourage further research and utiliseation
of selected underutilised fruit species. A range of
publications were developed including monographs, extension manuals,
factsheets
, annotated bibliographies, extensive reference databases
and specialists' databases |
Tamarindus indica
Ziziphus spp
Dacryodes edulis
Adansonia digitata
Annona spp
Pouteria spp
Ricinodendron heudelotii
Strychnos cocculoides
Artocarpus heterophyllus

| Fruit Processor Technical Manual |
In February 2002, ICUC Southampton University organised
an Asian regional consultation in Bangkok on the Fruits for the Future
programme.
The meeting discussed the present status of
underutilised fruit tree species in Asia
and identified constraints limiting their greater
utilisation. A major constraint is the lack of accessible
practical information, particularly on post-harvest
handling, processing and marketing locally, nationally
and regionally. The meeting recommended the
establishment of a pilot project to assemble information
on post-harvest handling, processing and market chains,
and to develop mechanisms for the
dissemination of this information to village processors,
small traders, entrepreneurs and others. It also
recommended that research projects on post-harvest
handling, processing and marketing of underutilised
fruits should be developed. A survey on processing and
marketing of fruits in 5 countries of Asia
was carried out to address the initial recommendations
of the meeting. The results were reported to
DFID-FRP and further funds were assigned to support
resource centres for appropriate training at
the village level through workshops and dissemination of
information. This manual and associated
large posters have been developed to serve those needs.

| NEW CROPS AND USES: THEIR ROLE IN A RAPIDLY CHANGING WORLD |
The Centre for Underutilised Crops at the University of Southampton organised the 5th
International Symposium on New Crops and Uses on 3rd and 4th September, 2007. The
ECUC (European Centre for Under-utilised Crops) Trust, the International Foundation
for Science (IFS), the UK National non-food Crops Centre (NNFCC) and the Tropical
Agriculture Association were partners in its organisation.
