Palms for Arabs
A British company says it is selling date-palm trees to Arab countries and hopes to win orders worth over £lOO million ($305 million) in the next few years. Twyford Plant Laboratories, in Somerset, ’ south-west England, said its scientists had cracked the problem of producing commercial quantities of the trees from/tissue cultures and had already sent the first batch of 1000 to a customer in Iran. Trial shipments had also been sent to Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the Gulf states. —• London
