Invitation to our experience days on July 31 and August 1
Creating friends and making synergy
Below you will find a report of our national (Philippines) Experience Days March 2 and 4, 2024.  On July 31, you are invited to personally see our experiments (and the first results), solutions and alternative cultivation methods in Padada. We will give you a tour and explanation and share some first results and close off with a joint lunch at our compound.
On August 1, we will organize a conference together with our leading industry partners. Here we present our solutions, challenges and collaboration with WUR. A day full of inspiration, fascinating speakers and sparring with us and your colleagues from the industry.
The days, transport, your stay and care are free of charge; All you have to do is sign up and make sure you arrive in Davao!

Introduction and offering HortiGuard
The solution for a sustainable disinfection of water
Last March, after 2 years of development and testing with the University, the operation of our HortiGuard was validated in the field. This in the presence of some guests. The results are 100% validated and amazing. So now you can easily protect your plantation against contamination with TR4, Moko (Ralstonia) and other diseases!
Below is the report:  We are currently still in pre-sale for 2024 (our production capacity is almost full), we therefore offer you the opportunity to place a pre-order at a discount.  We have available for you: a summary of all tests, the validated report from the WUR and detailed product specifications. Would you like to receive this information? Please complete the form without obligation and we will send you this information immediately.  |

Introduction of A-Banana Foundation
Your partner for validated testing with WUR and in the field
We believe in fundamental and applied research at the highest attainable scientific level. That is why we have bundled all our strengths in this foundation. The foundation can independently analyze data, facilitate benchmarks and conduct research. The foundation is the bridge from an idea, an innovation, a solution to the university.
The foundation has all the possibilities to facilitate the entire chain;
Check out our ongoing field experiments:
 Do you have a product that needs to be tested in the laboratory, greenhouse or the field? Please feel free to contact us without obligation and we will be happy to get to know you. |

Our journey so far
Grow more with less and respect our resources
With the development of our cultivation system, we are in the scientific TRL6 phase and we will conclude that phase in September. We are already showing that we can grow on land infected with TR4!
We test more than 48 treatments and use the results to design, together with the University and our partners, various treatments to scale up to 5 x 10 hectares TRL7.
See where we are now:  Finally, the question is whether you would like to invest with us in testing and scaling up our system in TRL7. Perhaps your company would like to be at the forefront of this innovation and contribute to a better cultivation method for all of us. We are available for questions or a conversation about collaboration.
Yours faithfully,
Teams A Banana Foundation & A Banana Service
