Stakeholders meet to discuss commercialisation of banana

Preliminary findings show that highly sought-after products from bananas include briquettes, fibre, hair extensions, furniture, glue from the sap, and then fertilisers.

According to the head of the banana research programme at the National Agriculture Research Laboratories in Kawanda, Dr Alex Barekye, bananas have remained as food crops, and yet when added value, they can be turned into other high-value crops. (Credit: Prossy Nandudu)
