The Institute for Tropical and Subtropical Crops is one of the oldest Institutes of the Agricultural Research council. The purpose of the ARC-Institute for Tropical and Subtropical Crops (ARC-ITSC) is to provide sustainable and appropriate technologies for production and post-harvest handling of citrus and subtropical crops in order to enhance food security and nutrition, global competitiveness and wealth creation by addressing national priorities through its research agenda and related activities.
The Institute has a main campus in Nelspruit, Mpumalanga, where the growth of said crops is highly favoured due to the regional climatic conditions and several other research farms in the region and other selected provinces. |
