crop to a visitor. |
The project started
in September 2002 and aims to promote banana tissue
culture technology in Mubende and Kiboga districts
and in that way attempt to restore profitable banana
production in the area.
Its partnership arrangement involves the Buganda
Cultural and Development Foundation (BUCADEF) who
are demonstrating the technology, Agro Genetics
Company Ltd, who are supplying the banana tissue
culture materials, the National Research Organisation
(NARO) Kawanda, who are providing backstopping on
post-harvest technologies and the Ministry of Agriculture
who are providing extension advice and sites for
setting up hardening nurseries.
The project has created a lot of excitement from
farmers in the project areas, many of whom are now
asking for planting materials. |
