Much
of the work of the IRRDB is centred on its Specialist Groups, which
cover Agronomy (including agroforestry), Breeding, Physiology and
exploitation, Pathology, Technology and end uses, and Socio-economics.
Each group has a Liaison Officer who acts as the link between the
group, the Secretariat and the Board. Experts from each group meet
together at regular intervals to exchange ideas and to formulate proposals
for new activities.
The IRRDB does not have the financial resources to support major
research and development projects. When such a project has been
identified by the Board as being vital to the future health of the
industry and is too costly to be financed within the budgets of
the member institutes a source of external finance is sought.
