NAB hosts banana production training
The Namibian Agronomic Board (NAB), in partnership with AvaGro, invites all interested parties to join training sessions on banana production.These sessions are designed to educate aspiring producers on the fundamentals of banana production and crop management. Participants will gain in-depth knowledge of various aspects of production, including the morphological characteristics of the banana plant, the challenges of growing bananas in subtropical regions, and the impact of temperature on banana plants’ growth.
Training takes place today and tomorrow at the AvaGro farm at Swakopmund, as well as on Saturday and Sunday at the Singalamwe Combined School at Kongola.
