The main purpose of the project is the evaluation of the genetic diversity of the populations of local Tall by rigorous prospection all over Vanuatu. It is a priority for the national breeding programme in order to provide improved planting material for the farmers. Between May and August 1998, 5 populations of Vanuatu Tall were described and nut samples were collected and transferred to VARTC nursery. In addition, 7 exotic Tall varieties were rejuvenated by hand pollination method. Observations were carried on in national germplasm and the data submitted to CGRD database.
