  1. So proud of this man.

  2. Why do the machines cost so much? Maybe someone on the area can produce a cheaper machine. Sounds simple.

  39. Remaining parts of banana has to back to soil..everything need not be modified for man’s will

  40. I’m so happy that they are making money and products out of things that would otherwise be thrown away. I hope their buisness prospers!

  41. How is switching from one crop to another "green"? Makes absolutely no sense…

  42. I love bananas too but recently changed to eating green ones vs riped ones as they have more fibre and way less sugar than riped ones! But pretty cool how you can use remainder of stem to create more items!

  43. We eat raw banana as curry. Tender inner part of stem as a curry..lot of fibre..very good for health..meal on banana leaf…that way all parts of banana plant is used

  44. I appreciate the attempt of converting the waste into something useful but its not a total waste wen you really know its importance its just too healthy .

    In Kerala India we eat our food in banana leaves and the steam of that is used as food ,we eat it 🤦‍♀️im sry I lost it at the beginning itself when you said banana produce more waste

  45. Shader the Javanese February 28, 2021 @ 10:29 pm

    I believe african countries will become the most developed and eco friendly countries, if western and european countries don’t disturb

  46. Nobody:

    Me: my house car furniture and wife is made of banana

  47. Imagine posting this video and you don’t drop the business’s number or website
