Rwanda is inviting local and international companies to submit their investment projects and participate in the upcoming “Rwanda Private Sector-Led Program”.

Through various schemes, JICA collaborates with Japanese private sector to conduct ODA efficiently and effectively.

Under this survey, the usefulness and superiority of tissue culture technology in floriculture, focused on Ashiro Rindo (Ashiro Gentian), and its strategies to disseminate in Rwanda will be verified. This is expected to contribute to the value-added agriculture promotion mentioned in Strategic Plan for Agriculture Transformation 4 (PSTA 4).

Tissue culture technology, which is a technology for aseptically culturing and growing a part of a plant, is widely used as a virus-free production technology for flower production that ensures stable quality and quantity. Tissue culture technology is essential for the promotion of the seedling export industry because seedlings for export must be virus-free.
