If there is effective control of pests and diseases coupled with improved soil fertility, high soil water conservation and use of improved varieties, banana production can improve.

To improve production, better practices must be emphasised for every farmer. For commercial farmers, it is advisable that they go for improved breeds-like Mpologoma that have been tested to withstand diseases and yield much earlier.

Farmers should also plant wise. For example, the standard number of banana trees in an acre is 400, that is with the right spacing.

Farmers should also make sure that they do not leave more than three suckers on a plant. From 400 acres, a farmer can harvest an average of 80 to 120 bunches every month.

Farmers must maintain cleanliness on the farms in order to mitigate threats of diseases that thrive on poorly kept shambas to spread.
