Category: Enset

Ethiopia’s enset plant (Ensete ventricosum), commonly known as the 'false banana,' is a staple crop for millions of people in the country’s southern highlands. Known for its drought resistance and high food security value, enset is a vital crop for ensuring sustainable agriculture in the face of climate change. However, low productivity, disease susceptibility, and genetic limitations have long been challenges for enset farming.
