| Ric Reyes is the Combination Product and Marketing Manager of East-West Seed Company. He is shown here in a Palee ampalaya plantation in India. |
Ric Reyes is all smiles as he poses with a very fruitful crop of Palee ampalaya which has become the leading variety grown in India today.
This is a high-yielding hybrid developed by East-West Seed plant breeders to replace the old Indian variety that has spiny skin, a trait favored by Indian consumers.
The Palee hybrid produces more than double the usual yield of the old spiny variety. The Palee is also becoming a favorite of farmers in Sri Lanka and Myanmar where East-West seeds are now being marketed.
