Advanced Agriecological Research S/B welcomes collaborative research into almost all aspects of plantation tree crops and plantation forestry in particular issues related to production and management. Our joint work with public and private research centers, institutes, government agencies and universities worldwide has resulted in a number of publications in international journals and conferences. Some of our collaborators have come from the University of Manchester, England, Simon Fraser University, Canada, Hokkaido University, Japan, MIT, U.S.A., University Malaya, University Putra Malaysia, Department of Agriculture, Sarawak, Malaysian Cocoa Board and Malaysian Palm Oil Board. We have local and international students doing part of their MSc and PhD at our research stations. We also provide practical (industrial) training to undergraduates from local and foreign universities. Although we generate most our research funds through commercialization of our research work and technical advices, we also receive funding from other institutions or companies such as IMPHOS, Sumitomo and Union Harvest. Below are some of our current collaborative research and selected publications with our collaborators.
