This is a banana propagation system being promoted by our local partner. I may have talked about this before, but this is a method which lets you multiply many times more banana shoots than  the traditional system. You can see several dozen in the photo. This is a particularly critical time for banana here since there is a disease, BXW which is devastating the older varieties. There are only a few varieties  around  which are resistant and getting those out to farmers is urgent.  We have trained local community groups to use this system and now they are able to multiply these seedlings to supply farmers in their area. This will restore the ability to produce banana since the traditional varieties are  being seriously threatened as well as  create on opportunity for these community groups to make some income from selling these superior plants.
