IITA Crops - Banana and Plantain

Banana & plantain (Musa acuminata and balbisiana hybrids)

Banana and plantain are an essential source of carbohydrates and minerals and a major cash crop for many smallholder farmers in East, Central, and West Africa. Fruit is produced all year round in varied environments, but pests and diseases reduce yields and post harvest losses reduce availability.

Banana and Plantain plantation is a huge investment.
