The Bali Regional Company will use the banana seeds for planting this type of local Balinese banana on a large scale for commercial and conservation purposes. Perusda Bali will also invite farming communities to participate in planting local bananas, so that this local Balinese banana plant development activity will be a comprehensive activity involving many parties. On this occasion, the Dean of FP welcomed this collaboration, and the research team will try to realize this collaboration by producing healthy and quality local Balinese banana seedlings through tissue culture technology.
