David Espinoza, the leader of the project David Espinoza, mentions that this process entails dehydrating the banana stalk, to then extract the fiber, which will be used in constructions, replacing the synthetic ones to avoid the retraction of the concrete.
Emilio Cedeño, a member of the association of entrepreneurs, said that at first, this productive initiative was a little complicated, but now it is easy for them, “because they already got the feel of it.”
