A guide to the Dewe banana plantation in Uganda. See how the indigenous East African banana is intercropped with native and non-native species to create resources at Dewe Project. Bananas are planted alongside fig trees to create bark for the traditional barkcloth material worn by the buganda. Pumpkin and vanilla are also grown. Banana and palm tree leaves are stripped and dried to be used to create crafts such as traditional baskets, purses and hats.
