The data are based on decisions made for the major banana plot only. elevation areas, given the commercial nature of banana production, market participation is mostly associated with selling of banana bunches at the farm gate. Buying banana bunches is a more common practice among households in low-elevation areas than it is in high-elevation areas, reflecting the geographical shift in the locus of banana production from the Central Region to the southwestern highlands, from where it is transported and distributed across markets in the lowlands. here> 5.6near
