Improving the Quality of Life of Rural Communities in Four Latin American and Caribbean Countries Through Technological Innovations in Plantain Production, Agro-industrial Processing, and Marketing
The project aimed to improve the living conditions of plantain-producing rural communities in four Latin American and Caribbean countries through the introduction, validation, and adoption of technological innovations in primary production, agro-industrial processing, and plantain marketing. The initiative promoted the modernization of production systems by implementing technologies to increase productivity, reduce post-harvest losses, strengthen local capacities in agro-industrial processing (chips, flours, dehydrated products), and reinforce value chains through business organization, marketing strategies, and improved access to markets.
Use of ionizing radiation for the improvement of musaceae.
The application of ionizing radiation, specifically through genetic improvement techniques by mutation induction, is a tool that INIA of Venezuela uses to improve the resistance of musaceae (such as bananas and plantains) to diseases and pests, such as Fusarium TR4. These techniques seek to generate genetic variability in plants to obtain more resilient and productive varieties.
Tropical Fusarium Race 4 Prevention Program (Foc TR4) in Venezuela
The prevention program against Fusarium Tropical Race 4 (Foc TR4) seeks to protect the production of musaceae (bananas and plantains) through the implementation of surveillance measures, early diagnosis, containment and management of the disease. The program involves the inter-institutional participation of the public and private sectors, as well as international cooperation to strengthen the country's response capacity.
