Cartographie de la production bananière Banana production mapping system

Why document & map banana production?

• Access to reliable data on crop production is needed for effective

planning and setting of priorities in R&D

• The aim of this exercise is to improve, to make available and to

share spatial information on global banana production

Online mapping tool

• To store this information an online mapping tool with an

associated data base, accessible for everyone, is set up (www.crop-mapper.org/banana).

Procedure to collect data in 2 steps

Step 1: Draw on a map the primary banana growing areas in the country and indicate the respective production systems for each area

Procedure to collect data in 2 steps

Step 2: Consolidate existing data on the production area, total production and nature of production technologies and limiting biotic factors for each of the production systems by area
