We are using Tissue Culture technology
What is tissue Culture?
Tissue culture is the production of new plants from a small piece of plant tissue or cell that is grown in an artificial medium for the regeneration of shoots and roots.
Why tissue culture?
The application of tissue culture technology enables the farmers the production of uniform and high yielding crops that are also free from diseases. The technology is widely used for the production of clean banana seedlings.
The tissue culture lab located at K11 is intended to revitalize the banana industry. Banana seedlings established through tissue culture have faster growth, vigorous start, uniform production cycle. The seedling for planting are 100 % disease free.
How does it benefit the farming industry?
There is a growing interest to revive the banana industry. In recent years, small shipments carrying Somali bananas have reached various destinations, including Turkey and the Middle East. This is expected to increase as the banana producers are working hard to produce superior banana suitable for export markets.
