Plantains

CLAIR Lindore and her children of ‘Grant Try Again’ in the Lower Pomeroon River have created employment for themselves by utilising green plantains from their farm that will not sell on the market.
Grant-photo-1According to Ms. Lindore, instead of dumping the rejected plantain, herself and children will get together and peel them then chip and place them in the sun to dry. She said the dried plantain chips are sold to a private manufacturer in the Lower Pomeroon River, Tacoordeen, where it is processed into plantain flour and sold to the public as a value-added product.
Clair said sometimes the high wind in the Pomeroon causes sucker trees to fall with large bunches of plantains that are not ready for harvest. She said the plantains cannot be sold on the market and before it is left to spoil she creates self-employment by utilising the wastage which is processed into plantain flour.
