Diversification has never been so important, as it is now for small-scale farmers competing in a free market economy. Countries of the Caribbean have recognised the niche in the market for organic bananas, the Dominican Republic currently being the largest exporter of organic bananas. This meetin...

There are more than a thousand varieties of banana, the tallest herb in the world. This document traces the history of the nutritious fruit which is one of the most important food crops in the world. The dessert banana industry is described. The crop management cycle is presented from planting to...
The World Beta Network (WBN) was founded in 1989 on the initiative of IPGRI. The goal of all crop-specific networks is to improve international collaboration between curators of collections and researchers and users of germplasm, and, through task-sharing, to enable maximum use of the often limit...
