The MOU was initially signed in 2018 for collaboration with CIAD and The Biotech- nology Centre. The last approved project is entitled “Bioengineering of Yams & Other Selected Caribbean Roots and Tuber Crops Biomaterials for Value-chain Expansion & Pre-commercialization Analyses”. This project was designed to expand value chain of selected Caribbean and Mexican crops. It was specifically set out to facilitate the screening of biochemicals from selected crops, identification of
