The Alliance hands over the Tissue Culture Laboratory to NARO

This momentous event signifies a transformative step in Uganda’s agricultural biotechnology landscape. The newly inaugurated tissue culture laboratory will serve as a cornerstone in advancing banana production research across Eastern Africa. The facility, funded by the Government of Uganda, is poised to fast-track the development of disease-resistant and climate-resilient banana varieties, addressing the most pressing challenges facing banana farmers in the region, such as pests, diseases, and extreme weather conditions.
