On October 29, 2024, UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organization) conducted training to equip the team at FINANA – Banana Flour Processing Factory – in operating a new banana drying machine. The equipment was donated as part of the PROMOVE Comércio Project, funded by the European Union.
The training, attended by Finana technicians and operators, provided detailed instruction on the operation of the drying machine, which features advanced specifications for optimal processing of bananas for flour production. The equipment allows precise control of temperature and time, with automatic adjustments that ensure the quality standard required for products intended for both domestic and international markets. During the session, participants learned about the machine’s safety features and energy efficiency, including automatic process recovery options in case of power interruptions.
The PROMOVE Comércio Project aims, among other goals, to support sustainable development and promote trade in high-value local products, aligning them with export standards.
With the new machine and training, FINANA is expected to expand production and improve the quality of banana flour, offering consumers an excellent product.
