SRI LANKA, 2025. Pineapple Research Centre Director

19 February 2025. Makandura, Sri Lanka. Dr Darshani Jayamanne, the Additional Director of the Pineapple Research Centre, is an agronomist who designed a propegation system to grow pineapple suckers in the field. In the picture, Dr Jayamanne poses with a pineapple sucker that was grown using her system.
