The Southern Africa Vetiver Network has been established under the Institute of Natural Resources, which is a non profit affilliate of The University of Natal. The Network will serve SADC countries, and will cover a very wide area of vetiver applications both in agriculture, mining, and construction.

The network has established a homepage and a mirror of The Vetiver Network homepage at:http://www.unp.ac.za/UNPDepartments/inr/Vetiver/
