Scaling up technological innovations in family organic banana farming to reduce packaging losses and increase productivity by improving soil health – a test of continuous improvement and benchmarking for sustainable intensification

The project strengthens the competitiveness of family-based organic banana production in the Dominican Republic, Peru, and Ecuador by scaling technological innovations, promoting agronomic practices that reduce pest-related losses and improve soil health, and introducing the Ma$ Banano digital tool for farm management. It builds technical capacity and organizational strength in 12 small-producer associations, directly benefiting 2,400 family farmers involved in organic export markets.
