It ranks second after oil in international trade and has created several million jobs in the producer and consumer countries where more than nine million tons of green beans are produced annually (ICO, 2016). In the world, Brazil is the leading coffee producer and exporter country followed by Vietnam, Colombia, Indonesia and Ethiopia (ICO, 2016). The genus Coffea comprises nearly 124 well identified species; however, Coffea arabica L. and Coffea canephora P. are the two commercially important species (Davis et al., 2006; Gray et al., 2013). Predominately, Arabica coffee represents 70% of global coffee production and Caniphora (Robusta) represents about 30% (Damatta and Ramalho, 2006; Davis et al., 2012).

Recently, with the application of molecular marker, cacao was reclassified to the family Malvaceae (Alvensonet al., 1999). Cocoa (Theobromacacao L.) is an evergreen tropical lowland tree crop, native to the rainforest regions of Central and South America and indeed West Africa, which became the major producer from the mid-1960s (Opeke, 2006). There are over twenty species in the genus but Theobromacacao is the only one cultivated widely (Opeke, 2006). It is a cash crop of international significance, and has been a major source of foreign exchange for producing countries. Cacao is highly valued for its seeds – the cocoa beans. West Africa is a dominant cocoa producing region, because of its suitable soil and favourable climatic conditions. Abstract: An experiment was conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm, Federal University of Technology, Akure, in the rainforest zone of South-West Nigeria, to examine the residual effects of moisture stress of seedlings in the nursery on field performance of cacao genotypes. The experimental materials were two cacao genotypes (Amelonado and F3 Amazon) and two improved lines (PA 150/34 and PA 150/36) which were obtained from Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN), Ibadan. The seeds of the genotypes were sown in nursery pots, and seedlings were subjected to varying levels (0.6, 0.9 and 1.5 litres) of watering in the nursery. After ten (10) months in the nursery, the differentially watered seedlings were transplanted on the field in June, 2017. The experiment was laid out in a 4 x 3 factorial combination arranged in a Split Plot Design at three replicates per treatment. The cacao genotypes constituted the main plot while the differentially watered seedlings the sub-plot treatment. Data were collected on plant height (cm), stem girth (mm), number of leaves, and number of branches, number of dead seedlings and number of seedlings bearing dead twigs/branches and final survival count at end of dry season. Results showed that the effects of cacao genotypes anddifferential watering of seedlings in the nursery were significant on the measured growth and development variables of cacao on the field. The development of leaves and solar radiation properties (incidence and transmitted radiation) within cacao canopy varied during the course of the year among treatments. Across the differentially watered seedlings, highest radiation transmission within canopy was obtained between January and April. The ratio of transmitted to incident radiation were lowest for 1.5 l watered seedlings and lowest for moderate (0.9 l) and severe water stressed (0.6 l) seedlings. The effect of cacao genotype was pronounced on the time dynamics of canopy development (number of leaves and leaf area index), compared with F3 Amazon and the improved cacao varieties (the PA series), Amelonado had best leaf development across the measurement dates.

The miracle seed has been used by millions of people to treat various ailments for centuries in different parts of world as it contains essential macro and micronutrients which play vital roles as structural and functional components of metaloproteins and enzymes in the living cells. It is produced in most parts of Ethiopia and its uses are diverse from spices and medicinal aspects. The country generated 1.55 million USD in 2009/10 crop season from export of 801 MT cumin seeds in addition to huge domestic consumption. Since black cumin is high value spice and medicinal crop higher attention were given by national spice research sector. Ethiopia is one of the centers of diversity of black cumin. From entries of black cumin local cultivars grown 84 accessions have been collected by IBC from potential production areas/agro ecologies and under maintenance. Various reports indicated there is significant variability among entries in their vegetative performance, yield, and yield components and their reaction to pests. So far, improved varieties; Darbera, Dershaye, Eden have been released for users. However, with huge potential (production and export), the production and productivity of this spice crop remained very low due to a number of challenges; shortage of improved variety, traditional production, less awareness and inferior attention on its importance, lack of processing factory and market. Updated information on current status of black cumin production, productivity, market, potentials and prospects in the country is also lacking. This helps to give updated image for producers and policy makers and to give possible direction of black cumin revitalization. Therefore, this paper reviews the research activities conducted and achievements in different disciplines so far, the status of current production and the challenges and future prospects in the country.
