Since the last publication of this Manual in 2005, progress has been seen with the move from wild-harvesting to orchard-style commercial breadfruit production, and the introduction of quality control and post-harvesting handling procedures for the export market.
This manual builds on the 2005 publication and incorporates learnings from the PBP and other research and development activities over the past 15 years. Production of this manual was coordinated by Dr. Andrew McGregor with assistance from Kaitu Erasito, Kyle Stice and Livai Tora.
Funding for this manual was provided through the Pacific Farmer Organisations (PIFON) under the ACIAR PARDI2 program and the Farmer Organisations for Africa, Caribbean and the Pacific (FO4ACP) program.
