    Hi Everyone, I'm Graham.

    Just stumbled on this site a short time ago and am impressed and wanted to join.

    I haven't visited Dumaguete yet but have been to PI about 28 times so far.

    I work for Primary Industries here in Darwin Australia assisting our Mango growers to maximise their crops, helping with market access, fruit fly control, etc.

    Anyway, just wanted to say hello and Dumaguete is definately on the hit list early next year.

    Hope to meet up with a few of you over plenty of beers :-)

    Great Site.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the welcome.

    Of course I am happy to help as I already help a foundation in Luzon with info as they employ quite a lot of local people in the Mango Industry there and Cebu.

    I am not an expert but I have access to a lot of useful info that can help Primary Producers. I hope anyway :-)

    Cheers
    Graham

    Got a couple dozen of Carnarvon's finest on the kitchen benchtop as I write. Wife did a raid on the veggie market this morning....cheap...and sooo good..

    Welcome Graham. Haven't been to Darwin but some friends just got back from a visit and loved it..

    Ha, me also, our Mango season just finished here, my daughter and I gorged ourselves :-)

    You know what I miss? The green mango in the PI with Bagoong, nice with a beer :-)

    Thanks for the welcome mate.

    Graham...we actually live north end of Perth. The mangoes are trucked in from Carnarvon. Living in Carnarvon would be nice....good fishing and nice rural beauty...But Negros would be hard to beat too..
