China Congress Well Attended






The Congress venue of the Empark Grand Hotel was well appointed and fit the size of the group very well. Our hosts outdid themselves by erecting a large billboard banner behind the stage.






One of the destinations of the field visits was the Chinese Research Institute, near Chongqing. Theis group photo highlighted the great group of student volunteers in the front that were so much help for the foreign attendees.



The Demonstration Nursery we visited is also a commercial operation that is part of the modernization effort going on in nurseries all over China. CRI has spawned 44 modern nurseries in the last five year that have spread through all citrus growing areas in southern China.
