Import problem resolved
9-Aug-2016
It's good to have good news - and in this case a great response from MPI on a seed import tangled up in treatment difficulties on arrival in the county. Owing to some very specific circumstances an alternative to chemical treatment was provided by MPI in a timely fashion and the seeds are now safely in the hands of the importing nursery. Thanks go to the importer and MPI.
