The goal of the Banana Agrichain Competitiveness Enhancement (B-ACE) program is to enhance the competitiveness of the processed cardava/banana chips industry while promoting broad-based growth that involves and benefits the majority in a sustained way. The B-ACE program aims to increase incomes by an average of 30% within a period of three years. The benefits to the majority will derive from greater integration into value chains resulting in higher and more stable income, improved capabilities to get a higher share of the margin, and diversification of options.
