CCIPPP is divided into three lines; Research and Innovation, as well as Trainning and Production. These three lines are going to measure the economical impact, the environmental impact and the social impact of each activity performed in the three lines of CCIPPP.
According to Francisco Viteri General Manager of Popoyan, this Center was designed in order to develop and test the latest technologies in horticulture, and at the same time, ensure their suitability for use in a tropical environment. Once the technology has been developed the plan is to make sure it made available to the industry.
