Banana production
72
In 2015, the use of herbicides and
pesticides on the bananas stopped.
The 3.5 acres of crops were cut down and relocated to a half acre organic banana
experimental area. This field is now mixed with gliricidia trees, which are regularly
pruned to produce mulch. The small field is already producing beautiful bunches
of bananas.
The next phase of this experiment is to add cacao trees and vanilla so the field has
more biodiversity and the school can benefit from these products as well.
