Hence, the present Nendran (220 Brix). Maximum Acidity was noticed in study is an evaluation of chemical and nutrient composition Poovan (1.28%). The variety Nendran exhibited highest present in selected banana varieties mostly consumed in carbohydrate content (41.33g/100g) where as protein Kerala. content was found to be higher in variety Poovan (1.37g/100g).

Since May 1994, INIBAP is a programme of the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI), a Future Harvest Centre. The International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI) is an autonomous international scientific organization, supported by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). IPGRI’s mandate is to advocate the conservation and use of plant genetic resources for the benefit of present and future generations. IPGRI’s headquarters is based in Rome, Italy, with offices in another 14 countries worldwide. It operates through three programmes: (1) the Plant Genetic Resources Programme, (2) the CGIAR Genetic Resources Support Programme, and (3) the International Network for the Improvement of Banana and Plantain (INIBAP).

Banana is practically non-seasonal crop that reliably grown by local farmers primarily for food. It has been categorised as the dessert bananas and the cooking bananas. Cooking banana is one of the most important staple food and cash crops in East Africa. It plays a central role in food security; it serves as a source of carbohydrate, minerals and vitamins all year- round. The banana crop provides a household annual income of about $ 1,500; this is the highest smallholder income-generating crop in the region. Currently, several indigenous and improved cultivars exist in East Africa.
