SOUTH AFRICA IS AHEAD ON RESEARCH IN AFRICA
South African is ahead in agriculture research because the goverment
is serous while Universities already to work with farmers when new
plant is sported.
Example is fiery fruits discovered in 90s later to attract global consumers
around the World.
The story of the discovery of these little red gems is as nusual as the fruit itself
The bush a member of the capsicum family was first spotted in 1995 by
his Eastern Cape garden. How exactly the plant found its roots here, is not
known by today.
After initial disastrous experiments, a recipe was finally developed to turn
peppery fruits into tangy delicacies. Subsequent global registration of
the plant growing rights ensured that South African company, Peppadew
International , currently has sole rights to grow and bottle the product
commercially
That is example why South Africa is ahead of other Countries in Africa
and other Countries including Kenya should learn from in order to move
ahead before the year 2050
Kenya being blessed by beautiful highlands and forest among them
Kakamega rain forest might having such discovery but both farmers
Scholars and the government are not serious
Among the discovery sleeping in Kenya includes vegetables and frutis
even medicinal.
Time ha come for Universities to consider working with local farmers
and avoid conditions when it comes to research and depending on
donors .
