The Banana Industrial Research & Development Center (BIRDC)

BIRDC’s journey is a testament to Uganda’s potential for innovation-led development through fostering collaboration, embracing sustainability, and pursuing excellence.

 

From Vision to Reality: Pioneering Banana Value Addition Uganda, blessed with fertile lands and abundant agricultural resources, has long recognized the potential of its banana sector. The Presidential Initiative on Banana Industrial Development (PIBID), conceived to harness this potential, has evolved into the Banana Industrial Research & Development Center (BIRDC).

This evolution represents a strategic commitment to transforming the banana value chain through science, technology, and innovation.
