YANGON: In a small ground surrounded by banana trees in a farm in Yangon region in Myanmar, U Myint Thein skillfully peels a banana tree stem, showing how to extract fibres from the plant to make value-added products.
"This is the first step in turning plant waste into something useful. We can extract the fibres using just a knife and scissors," explained U Myint Thein, the founder of Green Banana.
