RECOMMENDATI ON
4« Ac- . No. 1 : COMMERCIAL GUAVA PRODUCTION
Request the Corporation Counsel to draft a resolution
urging the University of Hawaii to publish a new
pamphlet on commercial guava production for public
distribution. ‹kc� ".°11-/PR-Mi
Efforts to acquire copies of past publications on
commercial guava culture have been met with the
reply from the University that the supply of the
pamphlets has been depleted.
There is wide interest in commercial guava production
and there is need for dissemination of technical
information and knowledge to assist prospective
producers in Hawaii County where there is known to be
high potentials for development of commercial guava
production. It is known that extensive research work
has been done and is being continued on scientific
guava production by the agricultural experiment stations
on this island.
