🌱📢 Choosing the right to***co variety can make the difference between a successful season and costly losses. To support growers ahead of the upcoming planting season, the GBB team, together with representatives from other divisions at Kutsaga, engaged farmers during the Circus Meetings at the Premier To***co Auction Floors.

Discussions focused on critical production issues including recommended variety selection for different growing regions, the risks associated with illegal varieties, and management of agronomic challenges such as early flowering. These engagements are essential in ensuring growers make informed decisions that improve productivity, crop quality, and sustainability.

🔬🌱 Building skills, advancing science

Our MT Laboratory recently hosted students from NUST and Bindura University for hands-on training in molecular biology techniques and tissue culture, providing practical exposure to modern laboratory procedures used in biotechnology research.

Through such engagements, participants gain valuable experience in laboratory workflows, technical skills development, and applied research techniques — helping bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world scientific practice.

Kutsaga remains committed to supporting capacity building, knowledge transfer, and training opportunities that equip the next generation of scientists and innovators.
