Technology developed in Campinas, in the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo, is to be applied in China to boost potato production, according to Campinas Agronomy Institute (IAC) researcher, José Alberto Caram de Souza Dias.
According to the researcher, the IAC technology for virus-free seedling/seed potato production is due to arrive in China, initially to Inner Mongolia, which is an important potato producing area.
The technical cooperation partnership is being carried out with the Agricultural Research Institute, of the city of Hulunbeir, where the IAC researcher exhibited the Brazilian-developed technology in September, 2008.
The agreement outlines, for the first time between the two countries, sending virus-free seedlings to China.
