| dcterms.description | Along with seafood, bananas represent one of Cape Verde's few exports. This declining traditional export sector was reactivated by a community-wide desire to find an agricultural means of boosting economic development in the country. For the approximately 450,000 inhabitants, a lot is at stake. Conditions are ideal in Cape Verde for setting up an organic banana industry. This development project involved upgrading a small 80 ha banana plantation having a production potential of around 4,800 tonnes of bananas. The target - the organic food market. The operation is handled as it would be on a regular industrial-scale banana plantation, with the application of international quality standards. The overall aim is to export Cape Verde labelled organic bananas and capture a 30-40% share of this specialised market. | en_US |
