Improved banana production for increased household income

1 juil. 2007-30 juin 2008

Bungoma and Meru Central Area Branches of KENFAP will carry out projects related to banana production.
The Bungoma area branch draws its strength from its thirteen local branches which comprise of voluntary farmers who have a common goal of enhancing their livelihoods. The members seek funding for the improved production of bananas to increase their income and boost food security. Through the enterprise the area branch seeks to supply the entire Bungoma district with clean planting materials and ensure its institutional sustainability. The district is endowed with good loamy soils coupled with sufficient rainfall and good temperatures makes it suitable for banana production and increased entrepreneurship.

Meru Central district of Kenya has a favourable climate for the production of bananas especially the tissue culture banana (TCB). In spite of good climate condition there is a lack of TCB plants in the sector having to import them from other districts of Kenya.
The project aims to face the lack of plants with the establishment of TCB nurseries. The project will benefit around 500 farmer’s members of Meru Central Area Branch.
