Oil Palm
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- ASD Costa Rica
- ASD’s history began as an effort by Chiquita Brands International (CBI) to develop new and better crops for the hot humid tropics of Central and South America, where it had been involved in agricultural operations for almost a century.
- The origin of the oil palm industry in the Western world dates back to the days of the Tropical Research Division (TRD) of the United Fruit Company (UFC), Chiquita's former name. The TRD was CBI’s Research and Development arm during most of the first half of the twentieth century, and was one of the largest private scientific initiatives ever undertaken in the development of the region’s agriculture. These diversification efforts led to the introduction of important new crops and to the development of excellent germplasm collections, such as cocoa in Costa Rica and the Lancetilla Botanical Garden in Honduras where the first oil palms were introduced to Central America in 1926.
