India: Wayanad to host symposium on succulents

Wayanad is preparing to host an international symposium on succulents and a flori-fest on the premises of the Regional Agriculture Research Station at Ambalavayal, under the Kerala Agricultural University (KAU), from January 20 to February 2.

The 14-day programme is being organised jointly by the International Society for Horticultural Scientists (ISHS) and the KAU. This is the first time that the ISHS, the world organisation of horticultural scientists, is holding an international symposium on floriculture in the country. The event offers a unique opportunity for the Indian floriculture partners to promote and expand agri-tourism as well as floriculture globally, says KAU Vice-Chancellor P. Rajendran.

Mr. Rajendran says the global flori-fest and symposium are envisaged to set up a platform for free interaction of reputed researchers and other stakeholders actively involved in global tourism, floriculture research, production and exports. As many as 50 delegates from India and abroad will attend the event.

KAU associate director Rajendran Pangath says the programme will offer a vast opportunity for the district to evolve as a global tourist centre and also as a potential production centre for fruits and flowers.
