Abstract

The following text is based on coconut breeding experience in Jamaica, Thailand and Papua New Guinea, as well as on working visits to many (but by no means all) coconut growing countries. The ideas expressed are those of the author, but they have benefited from an open exchange of views with coconut breeding colleagues, research workers, extension officers, agricultural economists and others. Perhaps coconut farmers themselves have not been fully consulted, but the reason for this will be explained in the concluding section. To some extent, this article is a statement of intent concerning future coconut breeding work, particularly where serious disease and difficult growing conditions require more to be done than simply the introduction and multiplication of F, hybrids.

Abstract

In January 1968, the author joined the research department of the Coconut Industry Board, Jamaica as plant breeder. Twenty‑five years later, in July 1993, he completed a contract as plant breeder at the National Coconut Development Project, Tanzania. In between, he undertook coconut research and development work in a variety of situations. The twenty‑five year span coincides closely to that of the Asian Pacific Coconut community's own jubilee from 1969 to 1994. A twenty‑five year jubilee is a good excuse to look back on what has passed and review what has been learned. What events seemed to be important at different times during this period? What other, seemingly important events, turned out to be non‑starters? Can any recent events be identified that will affect future research and development? What follows are personal views. other people will have different ideas of what is important and‑what is not. But a twenty­fifth anniversary is also a time to plan for the future. That is what APCC will be doing. Like APCC, the author intends to continue to take an interest in this, the most worthwhile of all crops.
A REVIEW OF COCONUT RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT Hugh C. Harries

Abstract

By looking at the titles of articles published in CORD since it began, in 1985, it should be possible to assess what areas of coconut research and development are important. This is so, because CORD is intended for a select group of readers - those who know about coconuts. The writers of articles for CORD, unlike authors of articles in specialist scientific or economic journals, do not have to compete for space with reports on the cutting-edge of science or with predictions about world-market economic forces. Which is a pity, because if they did it would mean that coconut was back in the position of the world's leading source of vegetable oil that it held for half a century. There are other technical and scientific journals, as well as national language publications, to which coconut R&D specialist can, and do, submit articles, but CORD is the one location where both the writer and the reader should be on the same wavelength.
