Conteúdo: | The East African highlands constitute a secondary center of banana diversity with more than 80 locally evolved cultivars (musa spp., group AAA-EAST Africa). These cultivars, collectively called highland bananas, include both cooking and brewing types. Cooking banana is the primary staple food in the region and Uganda is the world's leading producerand consumer of bananas. In addition, farmers also grow a range of introduced cultivars. High cultivar diversity is a characteristic of local banana production. Farmer interviews were conducted at 24 sites to elucidate the underlying reasons for maintaining high banana cultivar diversity in Uganda. Farmers estimated the relative importance of theirbanana cultivars, defined and scored their cultivars for different cultivar selection criteria, and discussed cultivar preferences.
