"The banana will be certified by the Center for Promotion and Agricultural Products Certification Technical Management Unit (UPT), thus can be sold at supermarket," he expressed.

He explains, the banana will later become the parent for tissue culture. Each tree will produce five to seven buds. One of them can produce 1,000 trees in one year that is propagated by means of tissue culture, thus the first tree seedlings planted can produce 5,000 to 7,000 trees.

This tissue culture technique has advantages for producing large quantities and harvest simultaneously, as well as the fruiting period is faster, around nine months.
