ARC Infruitec-Nietvoorbij, a member of the Crop Sciences Cluster of the ARC, is located in Stellenbosch in the Western Cape. Our mandate is research and development as well as technology transfer on the breeding, cultivation, protection and post-harvest technology of deciduous fruit, grape vines, alternative crops and indigenous herbal teas. The Campus has six divisions, each focusing on different aspects of fruit and wine production. The major portion of research and development is focused on improved crop production and mitigation of agricultural risks, but food security as well as the sustainable use of natural resources are also addressed. The Campus is the custodian of grapevine, deciduous fruit and wine yeast genebanks that preserve genetic resources for breeding purposes, training and comparative descriptions. It also boasts a Sterile Insect Technique Programme.
