G-9 Banana production expansion in Bangladesh

RMTP project successfully expanded G-9 banana production by distributing 47,000 G-9 banana seedlings among 235 farmers in Tangail and Mymensingh districts, which is producing on 470 acres of land. In addition to the seedlings, the project has provided comprehensive training, technical knowledge, and safe production methods for cultivating bananas, as well as guidance on effective marketing strategies. Furthermore, the project has established market linkages with potential export organizations, allowing the bananas to be sold not only in local markets but also in the international markets. The farmers who have adopted G-9 banana cultivation have experienced significant profits, doubling their earnings compared to other banana varieties. This success has generated considerable interest among other farmers who now wish to cultivate G-9 bananas. Recognizing this demand, the project has facilitated connections between enthusiastic farmers and G-9 banana seedling suppliers, fostering a sustainable supply chain for future expansion.
