Adding value to Ugandan bananas

Business Daily

Available for over a year

The fruit is a beloved staple of the African country's cuisine, and a key export. But is there a missed opportunity when it comes to Ugandan matoke, or bananas? We speak to entrepreneurs who are making banana wine, fertilizers and hair extensions - adding value for local and international markets. Produced and presented by Zawadi Mudibo (Image: A man drives a motorcycle carrying matoke in Kampala, Uganda in June 2024. Credit: Getty Images)
