The statistics below compare the years 2005, 2006, 2007 and
2008. In 2008, with the practice of Homa Farming Technology,
we observe (left) an increase in the weight of the banana bunches and
(right) an increase of the
banana clusters per bunch.
That means bigger bananas and more bananas with Homa Farming
Technology in such a short time. |

Eng. Hernan
Posas explains: "Till
the 5th period (i.e. till may 17th) of this year we
harvested 1,804 boxes/ha and therefore our "Fuente
de Alegria" reached for the first time the NUMBER
ONE place in PRODUCTIVITY of all the banana
plantations in our area. We are the only ones using
Homa
Technology. Other farms use
conventional agriculture.
Seeing the listing below of the first 20 ranks in
productivity, we can observe that there are some
farms with double size, which are not reaching the
productivity we have." |
