Description |
Among the horticulture crops, banana is the important fruit crop grown in an area of 0.80 million hectares with the production of about 29.3 million tons annually. The productivity has also witnessed 3 fold increases due to the adoption of improved technologies developed. Still there is great scope for improving the productivity as observed in many banana growing states like Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh which can be replicated in other banana growing states which have recorded lower productivity. There is great potential in export of banana, though India is the largest producer, export continues to be negligible. Since banana is grown by small and marginal farmers, it has great influence on the livelihood and nutritional security of the millions of farmers and consumers. To face these challenges, we need to convert these weaknesses into opportunities through technological advances and adoption by the farmers which provides livelihood, nutrition and profitability to the farmers and consumers. This strategic formulation also involve enhancement of capacity for growth, up gradation of skills, market access and human resource development for sustainable growth. The ICAR-National Research Centre for Banana (ICAR-NRCB) was established on 21st August 1993 to conduct basic and strategic research for enhancing the production, productivity and profitability of banana in the country. |
