Sichuan Academy of Agricultural Sciences and James Hutton Institute strengthen collaborative links

Signing of MoU between SAAS and Hutton Institute (c) James Hutton Institute
"China produces the largest amount of potatoes in the world but there is significant potential to improve the country’s production processes.

A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed between the Sichuan Academy of Agricultural Sciences (SAAS), China, and the James Hutton Institute, during a visit of a SAAS delegation to the Institute's Dundee site. 

SAAS previously held a MoU with SCRI, one of the Institute's legacy organisations, under which a number of potato varieties were trialled leading to several now undergoing commercial trials for Chinese markets, in particular a variety named Sulan-1.
