Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources (MINAGRI) and the National Agricultural Export Development Board (NAEB), officially inaugurated a new flower tissue culture laboratory in Kigali on January 24.
The lab is part of the "SDGs Business Verification Survey with the Private Sector for High-Quality Flower Young Plants Production" project which aims at further strengthening the country's flower export sector.
